Integration of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Into Decompression Surgery

- Registration Number
 - NCT06009640
 
- Lead Sponsor
 - Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital
 
- Brief Summary
 To describe a novel technique by integrating the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) into laparoscopy to protect pelvic nerves by continuously monitoring when they are at risk during surgery.
- Detailed Description
 We integrated intraoperative neuromonitoring system into laparoscopic lumbosacral plexus nerve decompression surgery and simultaneusly recorded nerve roots from lumbar 5 to sacral 4 during the operation. Diseases that cause pelvic nerve compression such as abnormal vascular conflict, aberrant priformis muscle, and endometriosis have settled in hard-to-reach deep areas of the pelvis. Sacral and sciatic nerves might be damaged when performing decompression surgery in these deep pelvic areas. We described a novel technique by integrating the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) into laparoscopy to protect pelvic nerves by continuously monitoring when they are at risk during surgery.
