title: May we use communication as an instrument? A simple neuromonitoring method peripheral nerve tumour resection.
abstract: We performed a procedure called awake simple peripheral nerve monitoring of the distal lower extremity. In this procedure we aimed to protect the patient's peroneal nerve during the successful removal of a tumour arising from this nerve. This is the first report that explores the use of communication with the patient during peripheral nerve tumour resection.
