Intraoperative spinal cord monitoring for intramedullary surgery: an essential adjunct.
Intraoperative monitoring of the functional integrity of the spinal cord during removal of intramedullary spinal cord lesions is an aid in intraoperative decision making and a primary tool for the prediction of neurological outcome. Motor evoked potential monitoring has become the neurophysiological monitoring technique of choice for that purpose. In the senior author's experience with over 130...
متن کاملMultimodal Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Spinal Cord Surgery.
AIM Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) monitors the functional integrity of critical neural structures by electrophysiological methods during surgery. Multimodality combines different neurophysiological methods to maximize diagnostic efficacy and provide a safety margin to improve the outcomes of spinal surgery. Our aim was to share our intraoperative monitoring experiences wit...
متن کاملEvolution of spinal cord surgery for pain.
The evolution of spinal cord procedures for pain closely followed the evolving understanding of the anatomy and workings of the pain pathways. Clinical observations often led to laboratory studies to define the pain pathways. More knowledge led to more and improved pain procedures. Postoperative observations led to better definition of pain perception. In addition, empirically derived pain proc...
متن کاملLumbar nerve root mapping by the spinal cord monitoring in adult spinal deformity surgery
Objective When we perform surgical correction for spinal deformity with degenerative changes, nerve root impingement, traction, or nerve root injury could be occurred. Electromyographic (EMG) monitoring provides a real-time measure of impending spinal nerve root injury during instrumented posterior lumbar fusion. However, the utility of intraoperative EMG monitoring is still questionable becaus...
متن کاملMonitoring the brain and spinal cord.
Advances in monitoring technology, as presented elsewhere in this volume, have also occurred in monitoring to the brain and spinal cord. These techniques have created the opportunity to explore function and prognosis in patients who otherwise are unable to participate in a neurologic examination. This chapter overviews the anatomy, technology, and applications of several of these techniques. Be...
