Zusammenfassung: | The use of intraoperative mapping of neural structures has come to be an indispensable technique to prevent or minimize postoperative morbidity. In this article, I briefly mention its use in mapping nerve roots, plexuses, and peripheral nerves.

I include the technical details of different mapping modalities, relevant anatomy, and clinical applications, as appropriate. |
