Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring

  • 741 Accesses

Abstract

Surgery can generally be regarded as a risk-filled method for treating diseases, and it has a potential for causing injury to the nervous system. Because such injuries might not be detected by visual inspection of the operative field by the surgeon, they could occur and progress without the surgeon’s knowledge. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring involves the use of neurophysiological recordings for detecting changes in the function of the nervous system that are caused by surgically induced insults.
