摘要:
The present invention involves a system and methods for performing neurophysiologic assessments including, but not necessarily limited to, pedicle integrity assessments, neuromuscular pathway assessments, nerve proximity assessments, and spinal cord assessments, and methods for filtering EMG signal data to reject noise.
摘要:
The present invention involves systems and related methods for performing percutaneous pedicle integrity assessments involving the use of neurophysiology.
摘要:
The present invention involves systems and methods for determining nerve proximity, nerve direction, and pathology relative to a surgical instrument based on an identified relationship between neuromuscular responses and the stimulation signal that caused the neuromuscular responses.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to systems and algorithms aimed at neurophysiology monitoring, and more particularly to a system capable of quickly finding stimulation thresholds over multiple channels of a neurophysiology monitoring system. For example, the neurophysiology monitoring system may be configured to omit stimulation pulses when the neuromuscular response is predictable.
摘要:
A method for accessing a spinal disc of a lumbar spine of a patient using a surgical access system including a tissue distraction assembly and a tissue retraction assembly. The method can include maintaining an operative corridor along a lateral, trans-psoas path using the retraction assembly.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a system and methods generally aimed at surgery. More particularly, the present invention is directed at a system and related methods for performing surgical procedures and assessments involving the use of neurophysiology.
摘要:
A system for accessing a surgical target site and related methods, involving an initial distraction system for creating an initial distraction corridor, and an assembly capable of distracting from the initial distraction corridor to a secondary distraction corridor and thereafter sequentially receiving a plurality of retractor blades for retracting from the secondary distraction corridor to thereby create an operative corridor to the surgical target site, both of which may be equipped with one or more electrodes for use in detecting the existence of (and optionally the distance and/or direction to) neural structures before, during, and after the establishment of an operative corridor to a surgical target site.
