The removal of an indwelling cochlear implant electrode followed by reinsertion of a new device has been a maneuver of uncertain cosequences to the cochlea and its surviving neural population. The present study was conducted in an attempt to elucidate the factors at determine whether a reimplantation procedure will be successful. Cochlear implantation followed by explanation and subsequent implantation was performed in eight adult cats. Evaluation of cochlear histopathology suggested a significant increase in electrode insertion trauma when there was proliferation of granulation tissue in the round window area and scala tympani. In other cases, atraumatic insertion was achieved without apparent injury to the cochlea. The results of a survey of cochlear implant manufacturers and surgeons indicate that electrode replacement can usually be accomplished without adverse effects. Difficulties have been encountered, however, in moving implants with protuberant electrodes and when reimplantation was attempted on a delayed basis following explanation.

<p><strong>Aim:</strong> Emphasis in this study was placed on clinical and functional assessment of a modified "Florida Sleeve" procedure during surgical correction of ascending aorta aneurysms with concomitant aortic insufficiency.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> 32 patients with an aneurysm of the ascending aorta and aortic insufficiency underwent a modified "Florida Sleeve" procedure. The average follow-up was 17 (0-60) months. The average age of patients was 57±13 (23-73) years 56±13 years.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> The expected 4-year cumulative survival rate was 84.3%. Overall freedom from aortic insufficiency in the late period was 88.9%. Median aortic regurgitation was 1+ (1; 2). Long-term follow-up revealed no valve-associated complications.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The aortic root reimplantation procedure enables optimal correction of the existing lesions of the aortic root without performing aortic valve replacement and demonstrates stable clinical and functional outcomes in the long-term period.</p><p><strong>Key words:</strong> aortic aneurysm; aortic valve; valve-sparing operations.</p><p><strong>Funding</strong></p><p>The study had no sponsorship.</p><p><strong>Conflict of interest</strong></p><p>The authors declare no conflict of interest.</p>
