In recent decades the advances in and consolidation of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IOM) in several highly complex surgical areas have been undeniable. Currently all modalities of neurophysiological tests (SSEP MEP EMG PEATC VEP BRAIN MAPPING ETC) are performed in the operating room where they are used to provide trans operative information on the patient s neurological status in real time (monitoring) and to identify neural structures which are at immediate risk (mapping). With the inarguably positive impact of IOM on surgical outcomes there is an increasing interest in reliable technically focused literature. This volume provides cutting-edge information in the field of IOM and highlights new neurophysiological tools being used in various surgeries. The book s initial sections cover a range of topics including an anatomical overview electrical safety and detailed technical descriptions of the neurophysiological tests used in IOM. The subsequent sections address e.g. the brain brainstem spinal cord vascular and peripheral nerves epilepsy head and neck movement disorders and special topics. Some chapters are accompanied by videos of surgeries and IOM so that the reader will have the real sensation of having been in the operating room and will gain an overview of the key steps. Written by experts in the field of IOM the book offers a valuable resource for both experienced and early-career neurophysiologists neurosurgeons vascular and orthopedic surgeons and surgeons involved with pelvic procedures. Further its goal is to provide a real rapport never before attained between neurophysiologists and surgeons with a sole focus: excellence in terms of the final outcome.
