WUH: Neural Monitoring to Decrease the Incidence of Postoperative Neuropathy Following Robot-Assisted Surgery

Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether using neural monitoring during robotic surgeries lowers the occurrence of nerve injury. Nerve injuries have occurred in a small number of people during robotic surgery possibly because of the way their bodies were positioned during a long surgery. The comparison of the prospective intervention group to the retrospective matched cohort aims to show that neural monitoring can lead to early intraoperative intervention (eg patient repositioning) to avoid potentially catastrophic neuropathy.
