The technician attaches electrodes to the patient’s body which helps in monitoring nerve pathways through electric impulses.
The electrical signals provide continuous feedback to the surgeon to avoid any nerve injury and guides to operate the patient. Assure Holdings provides real-time data about the patient condition to help surgeons while conducting complicated surgical operations through fully integrated monitoring procedures, which include:
• Spinal Procedures -- spinal cord cases, cervical, thoracic and lumbar; spinal instrumentation cases, total disc replacement, scoliosis correction, odontoid fracture, discectomy/ laminectomy/ decompression, corpectomy, spinal cord tumor, tethered cord and more.
• Otolaryngology (ENT) and neurotology procedures -- thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, parotidectomy, submandibular gland removal and neck dissection, tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy and implant surgeries.
• Vascular procedures -- carotid endartectomy; brain aneurysm clipping and coiling, aortic aneurysm, intracranial and spinal cord, bypass surgeries, trans carotid artery revascularization (TCAR), and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
• Neurosurgical procedures -- craniotomies, motor cortex mapping, language mapping and awake craniotomy; peripheral nerve procedures, brachial plexus, nerve release carpal tunnel revision, and peripheral tumor removal.
• Ortho procedures -- acetabular (hip) fractures, hip arthroplasty revisions, knee arthroplasty, and leg lengthening.
• Spinal cord stimulator -- implanting a stimulator where the patient is fully anaesthetized during procedures.
Assure Holdings Corp. delivers intraoperative neuromonitoring services to about 131 surgeons operating in 66 surgery facilities and hospitals across the United States, including Colorado, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Texas, South Carolina, Michigan, and Louisiana.
