摘要：

Cochlear implantation has become a safe and effective method for the auditory rehabilitation of severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Flap problems are the commonest of the surgical complications [Axon PR, Mawman DJ, Upile T, Ramsden RT. Cochlear implantation in the presence of chronic suppurative otitis media. J Laryngol Otology 1997; 111:228-32] and the risk increases further when associated with medical conditions predisposing to infection. We present two patients with psoriasis who underwent cochlear implant surgery, discussing the risk of surgical site infection and treatment options to minimise infection.
