Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Robotic Surgery
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Positioning-related neural injuries are a significant risk in robotic-assisted abdominal wall reconstruction due to prolonged operative times and unique patient positioning.
  • Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INM) is recommended to mitigate these risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of INM during robotic-assisted abdominal wall reconstruction.
  • To compare outcomes between patients who received INM and those who did not.

Main Methods:

  • A two-armed study comparing a prospective intervention group (n=10) with a retrospective control group (n=47).
  • Prospective group received INM using somatosensory evoked potentials; control group did not.
  • Data collected included demographics, surgical details, and neurological outcomes (neuropathy).

Main Results:

  • One position-related neural response was detected intraoperatively in the INM group, with no postoperative neurological symptoms.
  • Two patients in the control group developed transient peripheral neuropathies.
  • Demographics and surgical procedures were similar; the INM group had higher rates of preoperative neuropathy and vasopressor use.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is feasible in robotic abdominal wall reconstruction.
  • INM may help prevent and reduce positioning-related neural injuries in this surgical setting.
