Insertion trajectory affects final intracochlear cochlear implant (CI) positioning, but limited information is available intraoperatively regarding ideal trajectory. We sought to improve intracochlear positioning CI electrodes using custom templates to specify insertion trajectory. 3D reconstructions were created from computed tomography of three cadaveric temporal bones. Trajectories co-planar with the straight segment of the cochlea’s basal turn were considered ideal. Templates were designed to fit against the drilled mastoid’s surface and convey this guided trajectory via a hollow cylinder. Templates were 3D-printed using stereolithography. Mastoidectomy was performed. Template accuracy was tested by measuring target registration error (TRE) for four templates. A novel, roller-based insertion tool (designed to fit within the template cylinder) constrained insertions to intended trajectories. Insertions were performed with MED-EL Standard electrodes in three bones with three conditions: guided trajectory with insertion tool, non-guided trajectory with insertion tool, and guided trajectory with surgical forceps. For the final condition, the template was used to mark the mastoid to convey trajectory. Insertion was stopped when electrode buckling occurred. TRE ranged from 0.23 mm to 0.73 mm. Mean TRE ± standard deviation was 0.55 ± 0.19 mm. Insertions along guided vs. non-guided trajectories averaged more intracochlear electrodes (9, 8, 8 vs. 7, 7, 8) and greater angular insertion depths (AID) (377°, 341°, 320° vs. 278°, 302°, 290°). Insertions performed with forceps using templates as a guide also achieved excellent results (intracochlear electrodes: 10, 7, 8; AID: 478°, 318°, 333°). No translocations occurred. Custom mastoid-fitting templates reliably specify intended insertion trajectory and provide sufficient information for recreation of that trajectory with manual insertion after template removal. The templates can accurately target structures within the temporal bone with a TRE of 0.55 ± 0.19 mm. Our roller-based insertion tool achieves results comparable to manual insertion using surgical forceps.
