“…However, many authors stopped doing extended endaural incision, and shifted to the retroauricular incision. They noted high rate of wound break down with the standard extended endaural incision (10,11) .…”

Background: Endaural incision was first described by Lempert, in 1938, for mastoidectomy surgery, it was described in cochlear implantation (CI) surgery since the 1980s at Hannover and Melbourne. In our study we described a modification of this incision. Objectives: Description and evaluation of the surgical outcomes of the modified endaural incision "Wahba's incision" in cochlear implantation surgery and comparing it with the traditional post auricular incision. Patients and method: Retrospective study of 95 cases of CI, all cases were implanted in one institute by the same surgical team from 2010 to 2018 with minimum follow up period of 3 years. All cases were implanted by the Wahba's incision. Results:The average duration for CI using Whaba's incision was higher than postauricular incision. The rate of postoperative hematomamigrationextrusion -wound dehiscence after CI using Whaba's incision was less than postauricular incision. Conclusion: Modified endaural incision "Wahba's incision" is a safe and effective incision for CI that aims at reducing the incidence of wound related complications of CI surgery.

“…Similar to HAs, the external component transfers sound from the environment to the internal component, which receives and processes the sound. From the surgical technique to aesthetics, CIs have also undergone significant advances [ 43 , 44 ]. The early models of CIs had only one channel, but research into CIs has led to the development of multichannel devices.…”

“…In previous publications we described the modified EAI for CI, (Wahba's incision), which was first designed by Hassan Wahba's (10) (11) . This incision differs from the extended EAI used in the past at Hannover and Melbourne in many points aiming at reducing the risks of device extrusion and wound related complications that were reported in the classic extended EAI (2) (7) (8).…”

Objectives: To compare the traditional postauricular incision with the modified endaural incision (Wahba's incision), in cochlear implantation (CI) surgery. Material and method: This is a retrospective case series study on 256 cases who performed CI surgery from 2010 to 2020 in a tertiary hospital and had a follow-up period of more than 2 years. They were divided into two grou ps. The first group included 146 patients who were implanted through the Wahba's incision. The second group included 112 patients who were implanted through the traditional postauricular incision. Both groups were compared retrospectively. Results: The average duration of CI was longer in the group implanted through Wahba's incision than the group implanted through postauricular incision (145 ± 42 and 130 ± 35 respectively). The rate of early postoperative surgical related complications was less in the group implanted through Wahba's incision than the group implanted through the postauricular incision (2.73% and 6.25% respectively). The rate of late postoperative surgical related complications was less in the group implanted through Wahba's incision than the group implanted through the postauricular incision (4.79% and 10.71% respectively) . However, all these differences were statistically insignificant (P values were > 0.05).Conclusion: Modified endaural incision "Wahba's incision" is an effective alternative to the traditional postauricular incision that aims at decreasing the rate of surgical related complications.
