Reassessing Nerve Stimulation during Surgery
This chapter explores the role of intraoperative nerve stimulation in peripheral nerve surgeries, emphasizing its effectiveness in identifying healthy and injured nerves despite tourniquet ischemia. Through a prospective study on ulnar nerve transposition, it challenges traditional beliefs about nerve stimulation reliability post-tourniquet inflation and raises critical questions about nerve vulnerability.
