Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has become an integral part of many surgeries. This comprehensive guide fills the need for a manuscript focused on electroneurophysiologic techniques during complex surgical procedures.
The book is divided into sections that cover Supratentorial, Cerebrovascular, Skull base, Spine, and Peripheral nerve surgery, as well as neuromonitoring and neuromapping procedures, patient positioning, lesions of the spinal cord and spinal column, interventional radiology, and the future of IONM. Chapters review relevant anatomy and physiology, structures at risk during complex procedures, and how to interpret changes in bioelectrical signals if these structures become injured.
Operative Neurophysiology provides neurosurgeons and neurophysiologists a solid foundation in the principles of surgical neurophysiology.
