    Summary

    Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) provide intra-operative monitoring during complex neurosurgery, including aneurysm and acoustic neuroma operations. This technique aids in assessing neuronal continuity for better patient prognosis after spinal cord injury.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurophysiology
    • Neurology

    Context:

    • Intra-operative monitoring is crucial for complex neurosurgical procedures.
    • Assessing neuronal function during surgery can improve patient outcomes.
    • Spinal cord stimulation is an emerging technique for treating traumatic lesions.

    Purpose:

    • To present the application of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) in various neurosurgical procedures.
    • To highlight the utility of SSEPs for intra-operative control.
    • To describe a technique for anterior spinal cord stimulation in traumatic spinal cord lesions.

    Summary:

    • Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are utilized for real-time monitoring during surgeries such as aneurysm repair, arteriovenous malformation resection (especially in the posterior fossa), and acoustic neuroma removal.
    • The study details a method for anterior spinal cord stimulation via a transthoracic approach for patients with spinal cord injuries.
    • Intra-operative confirmation of neuronal continuity using SSEPs in these patients correlates with a positive prognosis for functional recovery.

    Impact:

    • SSEPs enhance surgical safety and precision in neurosurgery.
    • This monitoring technique can lead to improved functional outcomes for patients undergoing spinal cord injury treatment.
    • The described spinal cord stimulation technique offers a new therapeutic avenue for spinal cord trauma.
