Popis: IntroductionSciatic nerve injury is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication in hip and pelvis surgery. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) was applied since the seventies in neurosurgery and spine surgery. Nowadays, IONM has gained popularity in other surgical specialities including orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Aim of this systematic review is to resume the literature evidences about the effectiveness of intraoperative monitoring of sciatic nerve during pelvic and hip surgery.MethodsTwo reviewers (GC and MD) independently identified studies by a systematic search of PubMed and Google Scholar from inception of database to 10 January 2021. Inclusion criteria were: (a) English written papers, (b) use of any type of intraoperative nerve monitoring during traumatic or elective pelvic and hip surgery, (c) comparison of the outcomes between patients who underwent nerve monitoring and patient who underwent standard procedures, (d) all study types including case reports. The present review was conducted in accordance with the 2009 PRISMA statement.ResultsThe literature search produced 224 papers from PubMed and 594 from Google Scholar, with a total amount of 818 papers. The two reviewer excluded 683 papers by title or duplicates. Of the 135 remaining, 72 were excluded after reading the abstract, and 31 by reading the full text. Thus, 32 papers were finally included in the review.ConclusionsThe use of IONM during hip and pelvis surgery is debated. The review results are insufficient to support the routine use of IONM in hip and pelvis surgery. The different IONM techniques have peculiar advantages and disadvantages and differences in sensitivity and specificity without clear evidence of superiority for any. Results from different studies and different interventions are often in contrast. However, there is general agreement in recognizing a role for IONM to define the critical maneuvers, positions or pathologies that could lead to sciatic nerve intraoperative damage.Level of evidenceLevel 2.
