The complications found were: Intraoperatory Complications: Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks (CSF), 7; Facial nerve injury, 1; excessive thinning of the posterior wall, 2; inmediate post operatory complications: infection of the surgical wound, 4; post operatory persistent pain, 1; Tinnitus, 2; late complications: Mastoiditis, 2; extrusion of the stimulating receptor, 1; facial nerve stimulation, 5; late infections of the stimulation receptor, 2; technical failure of the implanted system, 7.
