Optical Detection of Peripheral Nerve Bundles During Surgery

NCT01731379 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 35

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Investigation of application possibilities of optical spectroscopy within the field of surgical resection procedures to spare nerve tissue. Optical spectroscopy enables the possibility to specifically differentiate between different (human) tissues. The hypothesis is that incorporation of this technique into existing medical devices (e.g. medical blade) would enlarge the accuracy and reliability of these devices. Sparing of nerve bundles during surgery can lead to decreased postoperative morbidity rates.
