Intraoperative Electroneurography (ENoG) of Facial Nerve Conduction during Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis for Robin Sequence
This prospective pilot study suggests intraoperative risk of MMN injury during MDO is greatest during retraction for osteotomy and device activation. With an NPV of 84.8%, ENoG predicted the absence of postoperative FND when there were no significant conduction changes. Further research is necessary to confirm its diagnostic utility and establish standardized pediatric intraoperative ENoG thresholds.
