Orthopaedics
inomed offers different systems for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during spine interventions.
During surgery, the most important neural functions can be monitored by monitoring the motor paths with EMG/MEP recordings and the somatosensory paths with SEPs as well as direct stimulation of nerve roots. Neuromonitoring supports a safe screw placement during placement of opened and / or percutaneous pedicle screw.
One further application is the direct stimulation of the spinal nerve roots during minimal invasive surgery of intervertebral discs.
Surgery of the Vertebral Column
Neuromonitoring is used during spine surgery for scoliosis and fracture interventions. Thus the motor and sensory pathways can be monitored, a safe and correct pedicle screw placement can be checked and monitoring of the recurrent nerve can be performed during cervical interventions.
Minimally Invasive Surgery of Intervertebral Discs
inomed has developed special MIC probes for interventions in endoscopic surgery.
