[Complications of cochlear implant surgery].

During the last several decades, cochlear implant has been fully recognized in treatment of severe hearing loss. Development of modern technology enabled inconceivable possibilities of technical qualities of the device as well as development of usable coding strategies, which led to extraordinary results in patient rehabilitation. Although cochlear implantation has become one of the routine operative procedures throughout the world nowadays, it gives rise to certain complications. These complications, though rare, can sometimes be very serious, even with fatal outcome. If cochlear implantation is performed by experienced and well-educated team of experts, the possibility of complications is minimal and is certainly not the argument against cochlear implantation as a method of treatment of severe hearing impairments.

[Cochlear implant application with postlingually deaf patients].

Through last several decades, cochlear implant has been fully recognized for treatment of profound hearing loss. Modern technology development enabled unimagined possibilities in technical qualities of the device, as well as development of usable coding strategies, which led to extraordinary results of patient rehabilitation. It is well known that postlingually deaf implanted patients show better results than prelingually deaf implanted patients. This is to be understood, concerning the fact of matured hearing paths and centers of CNS, presence of developed speech in patients postlingually deaf, contrary to prelingually deaf patients in whom the development of hearing paths and centers is yet to be established only after cochlear implantation. Accordingly, this is a case report of male adult patient B.D. who was implanted because of complete deafness following the application of gentamicin. The results of implantation were excellent and fully justified the choice of the patient for CI application.

[Role of immune factors in the pathogenesis of secretory otitis media].

Authors have been analysed the main role of immunological factors in complex pathogenesis of secretory otitis media. Data from recent literature and data from studies that were conducted in ENT city hospital in Belgrade were reviewed. The mucosa of the middle esr belong to the nasopharyngeal associated lymphoid tissue (NALT). The factors of the specific and non specific mucosal defence in middle ear mucosa can influence the mechanism of the chronic inflammation in secretory otitis media. The role of macrophages, mast cells, lymphoplasmocytes and adhesion molecules was emphasized. Concerning that results it is possible to create clinical studies in order improve the diagnostic procedures ant therapy of secretory otitis media.
