Abstract
Monitoring of peripheral nerve function is important during the surgical treatment of peripheral nerve and plexus lesions, allowing for rapid assessment of the integrity of the roots, plexus, and nerves. The results of this monitoring assist the surgeon in the overall approach to treatment of these lesions. There are, however, many technical challenges to providing this neurophysiological information in an accurate and rapid fashion. This study assesses the equipment and techniques involved in intraoperative peripheral nerve monitoring and describes its use in the more common clinical scenarios. Muscle Nerve, 2006Keywords
