Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated surgical navigational and neuromonitoring system having automated surgical assistance and control. The integrated system provides real-time introperative assistance to a surgeon or other user. The integrated system can also automatically control neuromonitoring based on a position of a neuromonitoring probe.

Description

Background technique [0001] [001] Surgical procedures, especially nerve-related procedures, are often assisted by surgical navigation systems that assist the surgeon in moving and positioning surgical tools or probes. Conventional surgical navigation systems use mirrors and / or markers to provide positional information of surgical tools relative to a preoperative perspective of the patient's anatomy. However, surgical navigation systems do not perform nerve monitoring functions to determine the integrity of or the proximity of surgical tools to neural structures. On the other hand, neural integrity monitoring systems are designed to identify nerve locations using electrical stimulation methods to predict and prevent nerve damage. However, neural integrity monitoring systems do not provide visual navigation aids. Therefore, there is a need for an integrated nerve monitoring and surgical navigation system that can visually Assistant surgeon. Contents of the invention [000...
