Vocal Wires and Facial Nerves are Safe with Nerve Monitoring Technology

It is of great importance to protect the nerves in operations in the head and neck area. While preserving the nerves during surgeries in the past was only dependent on the experience of the physician, today's technology strengthens the physician's hand. "Nerve Monitoring Technology", which is being used at the Near East University Hospital, provides a great advantage for the protection of the vocal cords and facial nerves.

Nerve monitoring technology, which is used especially in thyroid and parotid (salivary gland) surgeries, makes it more visible by stimulating the vocal cords and facial nerves during the operation. Thus, it allows the physician performing the operation to complete the surgery by protecting the vocal cords and facial nerves, minimizing the risk of damage to the vocal cords and losing mimic movements after the surgery.

Neuromonitoring Technology Strengthens Physician's Hand in Protection of Nerves

Thanks to the nervous system, we move our muscles, develop reflexes in the face of events, swallow, chew, open and close our eyes, feel that we are full, have pain, and many other events that develop in our body.

For this reason, it is vital to protect the nerves in surgical operations applied to many parts of the body. The "Nerve Monitoring Technology", which has been used in the Near East University Hospital, also strengthens the physician's hand in order to protect the nerves.
