Samuel H. Selesnick, MD
According to Dr. Brown, another important
consideration during cochlear implantation
is preventing injury to the cochlea during
the procedure. When you put a cochlear
implant in the cochlea, the hair cells that
are responsible for picking up the vibration
of sound and converting it to an electrical
signal that goes to the brain stem can
become injured or lost either immediately
or over time after the implant is placed, says
Dr. Brown. This is of particular concern in
patients who still have some residual hearing
particularly in the lower frequencies. So
we are looking at interventions that help to
preserve the natural structure of the cochlea
and prevent its degeneration. There has
t was truly a meeting of minds when a year ago Kate E. McCarn, MD, a facial plastic
surgeon; Marc A. Cohen, MD, and David I. Kutler, MD, head and neck surgeons;
Hillary D. Johnson, MD, PhD, a specialist in Mohs micrographic surgery and high-risk skin
cancer screening with Weill Cornells Department of Dermatology; Garrett T. Desman, MD,
a dermatopathologist in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine; along
with medical and radiation oncologists, ocular and general plastic surgeons, pathologists,
and radiologists came together to pool their expertise and resources for patients with skin
cancer by establishing the multispecialty Cutaneous Oncology Group.
The group had its origins when Drs. McCarn,
Cohen, Johnson, Desman, and others got
together to talk about a specific case. We
thought it would be a good idea if we held
regular discussions to review difficult cases,
recalls Dr. Cohen. That way everyone
could be on board with all of the issues
that arise with patients who need care from
multiple experts. The group now gathers
monthly to review and develop treatment
plans for challenging cases. It also serves
as a forum for discussing new research and
topics of common interest and provides an
educational opportunity for residents as well.
