Abstract: Objective To compare the characteristics of complications after cochlear implantation in children and adults, and to explore the management of these complications. Methods A total of 170 cases of cochlear implantation were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into children group (n=147) and adult group (n=63) according to their age. The characteristics of complication and management were summarized. Results The success rate of implantation was 100%. Three days after operation, 13 children (8.84%) and 2 adults (8.69%) developed fever, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of fever between children and adults(P>0.05). Among those with normal inner ear, 10 children (10.20%) and 11 adults (52.38%) had postoperative vertigo, and the incidence of vertigo was lower in children than that in adults (P<0.05). Scalp hematoma occurred in 1 adult and healed after extraction. External ear canal skin perforation was observed in 1 child which was cured with surgical repair. The cochlear implant was damaged 18 months after implantation in 1 child and was re-implanted. Conclusion Different complications may occur in different periods after cochlear implantation in various age groups, which need clinicians' close attention.
