The application of the technique for dorsal median sulcus mapping in intramedullary space occupying surgery: a single-center experience
The technique of DMS mapping is both stable and feasible, can assist the surgeon in accurately identifying the position of the posterior median sulci of the spinal cord and performing a precise dorsal columnotomy along the electrophysiological midline. This method holds great potential in enhancing the preservation of deep sensory function in patients' lower limbs post-surgery, thereby enabling them to benefit from the technique. Additionally, SEP Mapping of dorsal column aids in comprehending their function and facilitating rapid localization. Consequently, this approach introduces a novel neuroprotective measure for multimodal electrophysiological monitoring during intramedullary space occupying surgery.
