Percutaneous cochlear implant (PCI) surgery consists of drilling a single trough from the lateral skull to the cochlea avoiding vital anatomy. To accomplish PCI, we utilize a patient-customized, micro-stereotactic frame, which we call a “microtable” because it consists of a small tabletop sitting on legs. The orientation of the legs controls the alignment of the tabletop such that it is perpendicular to a specified trajectory. Prospective. Tertiary referral center. Thirteen patients (eighteen ears) undergoing traditional CI surgery. With IRB approval, each patient had three fiducial markers implanted in bone surrounding the ear. Temporal bone CT scans were obtained and the markers were localized, as was vital anatomy. A linear trajectory from the lateral skull through the facial recess to the cochlea was planned. A microtable was fabricated to follow the specified trajectory. After mastoidectomy and posterior tympanotomy, accuracy of trajectories was validated by mounting microtables on bone-implanted markers and then passing sham drill bits across the facial recess to the cochlea. Distance from the drill to vital anatomy was measured. Microtables were constructed on a CNC milling machine in under 5 minutes each. Successful access across the facial recess to the cochlea was achieved in all 18 cases. The mean ± standard deviation from mid-portion of the drill to the facial nerve was 1.20 ± 0.36 mm and from the chorda tympani was 1.25 ± 0.33 mm. These results demonstrate the feasibility of PCI access using customized, micro-stereotactic frames.
