[Resorbable intracutaneous suture as wound closure in cochlear implant].
The extended incision in cochlear implantation has to be performed for several reasons; therefore the wound closure needs single or continuous suture for the skin. The suture removal seems to be traumatic for children. That is why we have using an intracutaneous absorbable suture to avoid material removal for more than 6 months now without any complications in the 35 patients in question.
