[Surgical implantation of the Med-El vibrant Soundbridge].
Surgical implantation of the Med-El Vibrant Soundbridge is, in the initial phases, similar to that of other otologic processes but differs in certain aspects that should be known. The surgical steps are as follows: incision, mastoidectomy, posterior tympanotomy, preparation of the implant bed, and placement of the device. The present article also describes the surgical procedure for placement of the device in the round window.
