Abstract
The surgical installation of bone-anchored hearing systems (BAHS) has after decades finally undergone changes towards more minimally invasive techniques without soft tissue thinning.1–3 Some surgeons are also performing the surgery and installation, using the classical drilling system, through a single punch entry.4–6. The minimally invasive Ponto surgery (MIPS) was suggested as a refinement of the tissue reservation techniques.1 With a custom set of surgical components, the surgery is performed through only a 5-mm circular incision. This report presents the details of this method, the instruments used, key items to address and the shortterm follow-up data from centres that evaluated this technique.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
