Surgical risks in skull base procedures can be minimized by monitoring brain function and blood flow. Advanced techniques like electromyographic and auditory nerve monitoring improve patient outcomes and neural preservation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Skull base surgery poses significant risks to cranial nerves and brain function.
  • Maintaining adequate cerebral blood flow and preventing neural trauma are critical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of intraoperative monitoring for reducing surgical risks.
  • To discuss advancements in neuromonitoring for cranial nerve preservation during skull base surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing electromyographic neuromonitoring for facial nerve function.
  • Employing Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) for auditory nerve monitoring.
  • Discussing the role of computer-assisted surgery and intraoperative imaging.
