Intraoperative monitoring is a means to ensure the safety of sensorimotor neurological pathways during surgical procedures involving the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
• Brain surgeries involving motor cortex, brain stem or cranial nerves (tumor/ epileptic focus excision, aneurysm clipping, preservation of cranial nerve functions (CN V, VII, VIII, X, XI & XII)
• Spinal cord procedures (correction, fixation, tumors, aneursyms & discectomies)
• Peripheral nerve surgeries (preserving peripheral nerve function during plastic surgeries, nerve/ plexus repair, peripheral neurotomies, neuroma excision).
• Vascular surgeries (Carotid artery and aortic surgeries).
• ENT surgeries involving the facial, auditory, recurrent laryngeal nerves, as well as cochlear implants.
Multimodal IONM greatly enhances the safety of brain, spine, ENT and vascular procedures, and has a reliable negative predictive value (100%). It alerts the surgeon at a reversible state of damage and is therefore valuable in preventing permanent injury.
Most insurance providers operating in Egypt cover IONM as part of their surgery coverage. The following providers reimburse MedSafe directly once patients provide their membership cards before surgery. Thus giving patients extra peace of mind after surgery:
