Advanced Techniques in Intraoperative Monitoring for the Lateral
Lumbar Interbody Fusion Procedure: A Utility Study
|
Dr. Scott Mallozzi
|
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical utility of a known intraoperative neuromonitoring modality (SSEP) using a nontraditional stimulation site (saphenous nerve versus more traditional posterior tibial nerve) to try to better identify nerve health changes to the lumbar plexus, which is at risk during the LLIF procedure. To quantify the clinical utility of saphenous nerve SSEP monitoring in predicting and/or mitigating new postoperative neural deficits following LLIF surgery.
