Single Incision Dual Cover with Temporoparietal Fascial Flap for Exposed Cochlear Implant: A Novel Take on a Workhorse Flap

Abstract

Cochlear implant surgeries have become increasingly common in India, leading to a rise in complications such as cochlear implant exposure. To address this issue, we present a novel technique involving a single incision dual cover using the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) and skin flap to give durable cover for exposed cochlear implants.
