This review aimed to determine the incidence of complications associated with cochlear implants (CI) in Saudi Arabia. We systematically searched PubMed, AIRE, OaIster, MEDLINE, Directory of Open Access Journals, Scopus, and Ovid from inception to January 2024. The review protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (ID: CRD42023486687). Studies that reported CI complications in Saudi Arabia were included. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A total of 17 articles with 2216 patients were included. The most common intraoperative complication was cerebrospinal fluid leakage (23 patients, 0.99%), followed by surgical difficulties (six patients, 0.26%), and dural accidental exposure and bleeding (three patients, 0.13%); the most common postoperative complications were vestibular symptoms (20 patients, 0.86%), followed by infection (17 patients, 0.73%), and device malfunction or migration (12 patients, 0.52%). The total complication rate ranged from 4-13%. Most of the included studies had a low risk. CI in Saudi Arabia has a complication rate similar to that reported in international studies. This review emphasizes the need for continued surveillance of CI outcomes to optimize procedural techniques and improve the safety and efficacy of CI in Saudi Arabia.
