Spinal cord monitoring during surgery for intramedullary spinal cord tumours
Chapter
Abstract
Spinal cord monitoring during spinal surgery using various methods has been performed widely to prevent iatrogenic spinal cord injury. At Chiba University Hospital, the spinal evoked potential elicited by direct spinal cord stimulation (conductive SpEP) was developed and has been applied clinically since 1972. During the past 21 years, 619 patients with various spinal disorders were monitored intraoperatively with this method. The purpose of this paper is to report the results of intraoperative spinal cord monitoring using this method for intramedullary spinal cord tumours.
