METHODS Neurogenic mixed evoked potentials were recorded after thoracoscopic spinal cord stimulation in patients undergoing video-assisted spine surgery. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the feasibility and value of thoracoscopic spinal cord monitoring. BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracic surgery recently has been proposed as a new technique for thoracic spine surgery. It can be used for anterior spinal release of patients with severe spinal deformities and for thoracic hernia removal. METHODS Five patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery for spinal fusion were studied. Neurogenic mixed evoked potentials were elicited by electrodes seated into intervertebral discs through thoracoscopy and recorded from peripheral nerves of the lower limbs. Moreover, the study included the case of a patient with a thoracic hernia who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery with combined thoracoscopic neurogenic mixed evoked potential and standard somatosensory evoked potential monitoring. RESULTS Neurogenic mixed evoked potentials were recorded consistently after spinal cord stimulation in all patients. For the patient with a thoracic hernia, neurogenic mixed evoked potentials suddenly disappeared, whereas somatosensory evoked potentials were not significantly modified, leading to surgery interruption. Neurogenic mixed evoked potentials progressively reappeared after a 30-minute delay. Postoperation examination revealed a Brown-Sequard's syndrome with incomplete right motor deficit. CONCLUSIONS Neurogenic mixed evoked potentials evoked by anterior stimulation through thoracoscopy are of interest for spinal cord monitoring when posterior electrical stimulation is impossible, and they provide reliable information regarding spinal motor pathways.
