Background This paper reports the first case of simultaneous bilateral cochlear implant surgery performed exclusively with a three-dimensional exoscope. It also discusses the optimum operative set-up and the feasibility of three-dimensional exoscopic ear surgery as an alternative to the microscope. Method The Vitom three-dimensional exoscope system (Karl Storz) was used. Results The surgery was successfully completed, with no peri-operative complications. Both the operation time and the surgical outcome for the patient were comparable with the previous cochlear implant surgical procedures performed in our centre using the conventional operating microscope. Conclusion This paper demonstrates that exclusive use of the three-dimensional exoscope is a viable alternative to the operating microscope for selected otological cases. It is clear that the three-dimensional exoscopic technique is potentially very promising for future surgical procedures, provided that cases are selected carefully to prevent compromising exposure, efficiency or patient safety.
