Monitoring of intraoperative auditory brainstem responses.
Intraoperative ABR monitoring provides a measure of reassurance when a surgical procedure places the cochlear nerve or its blood supply in jeopardy. ABR monitoring has demonstrated its place in the operating room during retrolabyrinthine vestibular nerve section for vertigo, and in acoustic neuroma operations, when hearing preservation is a high priority in surgical outcome.
