Objectives: to describe our experience with the Cochlear Nucleus SmartNav system
Methods: the Cochlear Nucleus SmartNav system was introduces in the 2022 in the Audiovestibology Unit of Varese for the intraoperative monitoring of electrode insertion.
Results: the system gives realtime fedback during electrode intracochlear insertion on speed, angular insertion depth (straight electrode) and final electrode array placement analysis, impedance and autoNRT,
Conclusion: The application of Cochlear SmartNav system avoids future revision surgery for tipfoldover or kinking. Eventually it may substitute intraoperative imaging, especially in young and less cooperative patients.

Cochlear Nucleus SmartNav system: the Varese early experience.

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm, that on behalf of the Cochlear Implant centers of the Radboud UMC in Nijmegen and Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital in Rotterdam to invite you to attend the 16th European Symposium on Pediatric Cochlear Implantation to Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 2023.

Yours sincerely, on behalf of the CI Centers at Radboud UMC and Erasmus MC,
