Cochlear implantation (CI), a widely employed procedure for individuals with severe hearing loss, can encounter a serious complication in the form of implant exposure. In such instances, surgeons are tasked with deciding between salvage measures or opting for reimplantation with a healthy tissue covering. This case presented a challenge with delayed flap necrosis triggered by an increase in the magnetic force of the external device. Notably, this complication manifested 8 years after the initial operation. Following the removal of the device, it was reconstructed successfully using a superficial temporal fascia V-Y advancement flap.
