Abstrakt: Background and Objectives: Transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery (TONES) is continuously evolving and gaining terrain in approaching different skull base pathologies. The objective of this study was to present our methodology for introducing recording electrodes, which includes a new transconjunctival pathway, to monitor the extraocular muscle function during TONES.
Methods: A translational observational study was performed from an anatomic demonstration focused on the transconjunctival electrode placement technique to a descriptive analysis in our series of 6 patients operated using TONES in association with intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring of the oculomotor nerves from 2017 to 2023. The stepwise anatomic demonstration for the electrode placement and correct positioning in the target muscle was realized through cadaveric dissection. The descriptive analysis evaluated viability (obtention of the electromyography in each cranial nerve [CN] monitored), security (complications), and compatibility (interference with TONES).
Results: In our series of 6 patients, 16 CNs were correctly monitored: 6 (100%) CNs III, 5 (83.3%) CNs VI, and 5 (83.3%) CNs IV. Spontaneous electromyography was registered correctly, and compound muscle action potential using triggered electromyography was obtained for anatomic confirmation of structures (1 CN III and VI). No complications nor interference with the surgical procedure were detected.
Conclusion: The methodology for introducing the recording electrodes was viable, secure, and compatible with TONES.
