I am scheduled for CI surgery in May 2019. My surgeon recently asked me "If I encounter scar tissue that would make it difficult to fully insert the wire into the cochlea, what do you want me to do?" "Give it my best shot even though it might not be the best outcome or just close you back up without going through with the CI?" He says he encounters this type of scar tissue with 1/10 cases.
Does anyone have any experience with scar tissue impacting the outcome of the procedure?
