A precise cochleostomy is a crucial step in cochlear implantation, particularly if residual hearing is to be preserved. A contactless ablation of the promontory bone by a pulsed CO 2 laser system seems to be a promising approach. The bone is removed by a scan head controlled laser beam in sequential
Objective: A novel approach for creating a soft cochleostomy has been described using a handheld CO 2 laser hollow waveguide from termed in the following the handheld CO 2 laser fiber. The effects on cochlear function have been studied in an animal model and were compared to the effects of the micro
