Description
Lidia Cabañes-Martínez and co-authors assessed in 2024 whether monitoring nerve signals during spine tumor surgery helps patients. The tumors sat inside the cord's covering, where surgery risks harm to the cord itself. Evidence for the value of live monitoring in these operations had been thin.
The team compared patients who had monitoring with those who did not at one center. Scores for function and quality of life improved more in the monitored group. New nerve deficits were also less common with monitoring than without. The authors argue that live monitoring helps surgeons spot danger early, adjust in time, and leave patients with better function after surgery.
