Comparative Study
Somatosensory- and motor-evoked potential monitoring during spine and spinal cord surgery.
Prospective, observational study. ⋯ Intraoperative combined SEP and MEP monitoring is a safe, reliable and sensitive method to detect and reduce intraoperative injury to the spinal cord. Therefore, the authors suggest that a combination of SEP/MEP techniques could be used routinely during complex spine and/or spinal cord surgery.
