Abstract		Cochlear implantation began in Maribor four years ago. Until now we implanted 19 patients between 6 and 57 years old. The operation is performed in UKC Maribor, fitting and rehabilitation is done in CSG Maribor. A team for cochlear implantation was formed at the beginning of implantation, which is formed from ear surgeon, audiologist, logopedist, psychologist and enginner of electronics. All surgeries went well, in all patients the full insertion of the electrode was achieved and all the implants are functioning well. The fitting and rehabilitation were successful and without problems too. All patients except one are using the implant, which has significantly improved their quality of life.
Summary		Kohlearna implantacija poteka v Mariboru štiri leta. Do sedaj je bilo implantiranih 19 bolnikov, starih med 6 in 57 let ob implantaciji. Operativni poseg opravimo v UKC Maribor, rehabilitacijo in nastavitev implanta pa v Centru za sluh in govor. Ob začetku implantacij se je tudi formiral tim za polžev vsadek, ki ga sestavljajo otokirurg, logoped, psiholog in inženir elektronike. Operacije so potekale uspešno, pri vseh bolnikih je bila dosežena popolna vstavitev elektrode in dobro delovanje implanta. Tudi nastavitev vsadka in rehabilitacija so potekale uspešno in do sedaj brez težav. Razen ene bolnice, vsi bolniki uporabljajo kohlearni implant, ki jim je tudi v znatni meri izboljšal kvaliteto življenja.
