Intro-Operative Neuromonituring For Spinal Cord Tumors, Brain Tumors

Surgery is a very specific and delicate process which needs special care. It becomes more crucial when it comes to the spine and brain. In some surgeries like spinal cord and brain tumor surgeries a surgeon needs to take extra care. And use of Introoperative neuromonitoring boosts the success rate of such surgeries.

The nature of tumor growth makes it a very complicated surgery. Today there are several methods to secure this surgery. One such method employed by most surgeon is “Intro operative neuromonitoring for spinal cord tumors and brain tumors” surgery.

Most surgeons would use this technique during the surgery. An intro operative neuromonitoring for tumors helps in gazing the physiological activity of the brain and spinal cord. It is the newest technique used by top most doctors and hospitals. The new developments in neuromonitoring have made it more accurate. It is crucial in minimizing the neurological damage during the surgery.

In Intro operative neuromonitoring specific techniques are used during the surgery. These include Motor evoked potential, EEG potential. However, this method is being used mostly by Brain and Spine surgeons. This is used in tandem with the ongoing surgery. However, it is used only in specific surgeries like Brain tumor and Spinal cord tumor surgeries.

Its Benefits.

Today when a person goes for tumor surgery chances are that you’re a surgeon would use neuromonitoring. This holds many benefits for patients and guarantees a successful surgery.

1. Limits the damage.

The risk of damage is always high in specialist surgeries like tumor related surgeries. In spinal cord and brain tumor surgeries, neuromonitoring is beneficial in limiting the injury to a patient’s nervous system. At the same time, it also monitors the condition of the spine and brain in an ongoing surgery

2. Localizes neural structures

There are many neural structures within the brain. If there is a tumor inside the brain Neuromonitoring helps in locating the right cranial nerve. This happens during the surgery itself. It lowers the risk of future nerve damage.

3. Early Injury detection

It is possible that a surgery may go wrong and affect the neurals. Neuromonitoring is useful in detecting and monitoring such changes. It works by stimulating nerve distal during the surgery.

4. Views the changes.

This helps the surgeons in monitoring for any sudden changes during the surgery. It becomes more crucial in Cerebral function for defining the right tumor margin during the surgery.

Neuromonitoring has been in use for many years. The advancement of technology has made it more precise. Today most surgeons would use this method in tandem with the surgery
