Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of cochlear implantation without general anaesthesia.
Study comparing cochlear implantation using general anaesthesia and local anaesthesia.
Assessment of surgical outcomes and recovery times for both approaches.
Evaluation of resource use and cost-effectiveness.
Cochlear implantation using local anaesthesia led to shorter recovery times compared to general anaesthesia.
Resource use was significantly lower in the local anaesthesia group, indicating cost-effectiveness.
Patient satisfaction was maintained in both anaesthesia methods, suggesting viability of the local approach.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

Investigates cochlear implantation using local anaesthesia, suggesting a cost-effective alternative.
