Intraoperative neural electrode for continuous monitoring of nerve function

2009

Nerve damage is still a major concern in all types of surgery and may result in permanent nerve injury. Real time nerve monitoring can reduce the risk of nerve lesions by continuous surveillance of nerve integrity. A stable proximal stimulation of the nerve and recording at the effector organ is essential and the electrodes should not significantly influence the surgical intervention.

Design and fabrication of an ultra-flexible electrode system for invasive continuous monitoring during surgery

2009

This paper introduces the development, design and characterization of a tube with electrodes for stimulation and recording. This tube can be used as an operative monitoring system for thyroid surgery. In such surgeries damaging of the neural tissue can result in permanently malfunction. Continuous nerve monitoring can reduce significantly this risk.
