Aims: Since its advent, several publications have described the complications of cochlear implantation; the majority of them classify these complications into minor and major ones. The objective of this study was to analyze the complications in our series of implanted adult and pediatric patients and to report our routes of management. Material and Methods: We thus, conducted a retrospective study reviewing complications of cochlear implantation performed in the ENT department of university hospital Mohammed VI Marrakech Morocco, from January 2010 to December 2020. Results: The average age of implantation was 5.15 years, 53% were girls. 24 postoperative complications were reported in our series, classified as either minor in 85% of the cases; where management is conservative, and major for 24%; requiring hospital management or even surgical revision. Conclusion: cochlear implantation remains a relatively safe procedure; mainly responsible for minor complications due to the progress of the surgical technique and the expertise of the surgeon.
