Abstract
A review of the surgical complications of the first 115 patients who r eceived a cochlear implant in this program demonstrate a negligible co mplication rate in the perioperative period and a low complication rat e in the long term. The surgical technique is described in detail and the reasons for this low complication rate are analysed.
