Our study confirmed that there were partial correlations between VF preservation and HP both in the short- and long-terms after atraumatic CI surgery, especially with the 250 Hz threshold. Regarding the variation of PSC function, the correlation with hearing status was variable with time after atraumatic CI surgery. Minimally invasive techniques for HP are successful and effective for the preservation of VF in pediatric patients both in the short- and long-terms.
