Abstract
The author's experiences over the past 6 to 8 years in using the type of neuromonitoring described in this paper during operations in the skull base have shown that this type of monitoring not only decreases the risks for permanent neurological deficits but also makes the work of the surgeon easier and gives the surgeon a sense of security because neural structures that are not visible with the operating microscope can be identified using this method and injuries can be detected instantaneously.
