Simulation system for intraoperative neuromonitoring

This paper presents a simulation system (“patient model”) for intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) applied to mastoidectomy. IONM is an electrophysiological method for monitoring the integrity and localization of nerve tracts, which helps the surgeon to avoid injuries and damage to neural risk stru...
