Modification of skin incision for Baha Attract System Implantations.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> In an era of wide accessibility to various systems for hearing impairment prosthetics, there exists a broad spectrum of surgical techniques facilitating system implantation.</br> <b><br>Aim:</b> The aim of the study is to present the technique of vertical incision in the implantation of the Baha Attract magnetic system as an alternative incision, maintaining a compromise between optimizing the surgical procedure and preserving the functionality and quality of life of the patient.</br> <b><br>Materials and methods:</b> The vertical incision technique is presented based on 5 patients treated between December 2022 and March 2023 diagnosed with conductive or mixed hearing loss.</br> <b><br>Results:</b> There were no adverse consequences or complications resulting from the performed surgical incision. All patients experienced uncomplicated healing. Patients are using sound processor magnets ranging from 4-5 in strength and Baha<sup></sup> 6 Max sound processors weighing 11.5 g.</br> <b><br>Conclusions:</b> The vertical incision technique serves as an alternative to the C-shaped perimeter incision, allowing for the optimization and standardization of the surgical procedure, resulting in a smooth scar formation and maintaining good audiological and aesthetic outcomes.</br&gt.
