This study indicates that infection control and successful implantation can be achieved through a one-stage CI operation with CWUM in selected patients with COM.HIGHLIGHTSAlthough COM was once considered a contraindication to CI, CI in patients with COM has been made feasible by STP before CI or simultaneously with CI.Simultaneous CI with CWUM was performed for 31 patients with COM.Three patients (9.7%) had minor complications after the surgery and only one patient experienced device explantation which was due to device failure.
