Abstract

Diverse electrophysiological studies, including evoked potential, electromyography, and nerve conduction studies, are currently used in the operating room to spare the function of the spinal cord during surgery. Here, we dealt with the basic principles, advantages, and limitations of each electrophysiological study.
