[Evaluation of the capacities of neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring in reconstructive surgery on the vertebral column].
To evaluate the capacities of neurosurgical intraoperative monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) in reconstructive operations on the vertebral column. ⋯ 1. Neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring yields additional information for surgeons during an operation. 2. During intraoperative monitoring of SSEPs, it is necessary to assess any changes in the latter as true and to immediately find possible causes of these changes. 3. In patients with revealed spondylogenic spinal circulatory disorders and severe neurological disorders, even short-term changes in SSEPs should be assessed with particular carefulness before surgery.
