“…14 In contrast, EMG monitoring is sensitive to nerve root manipulation and is root specific. 2,15,16 Consequently, a combination of SSEPs and EMG monitoring provides both spinal cord and nerve root specific monitoring. This kind of monitoring has been found to be helpful to warn the surgeon of potential nerve or spinal cord injury during intraoperative manipulation of neural structures, decompression, correction of deformity, and placement of instrumentation.…”

“…El criterio electromiográfico elegido fue de valores inferiores a 6 mA 7 . En las radiografías hechas en el postoperatorio, se consideraron 22 tornillos como medializados (5,2%) siguiendo los criterios descritos por Raynor y cols.…”

“…Los estudios de conducción eléctrica están basados en la premisa de la resistencia eléctrica dentro del pedículo intacto 2 . Su eficacia ha sido bien documentada en pedículos lumbares 7 , mientras que la literatura muestra resultados variables en la columna torácica 4,5 . Actualmente, es posible evaluar el orificio del tornillo dentro del pedículo electrofisiológicamente, existiendo guías publicadas de umbrales de estimulación para la cirugía de columna lumbosacra 4,5 .…”

“…Another disadvantage is that prediction of postoperative outcome is dependent only on the response at closing; i.e., intraoperative false-positives occur, not accurate realtime feedback [25]. In addition, dermatomal SEP has shown inadequate sensitivity to individual nerve-root function [21]. SSEP recorded from the interspinous space of the lumbosacral or cervical enlargement after lower-or upper-extremity stimulation has been extensively studied in experiments and used clinically in neuromonitoring in invasive spinal cord procedures [10, 17,22].…”
