First sentence: Electrophysiological recordings during orthopedic, neurological, and vascular surgery are gradually becoming part of standard medical practice, mainly because these procedures, unlike other intraoperative techniques such as X-ray and ultrasound imaging which provide information on the anatomical status of a structure, provide information regarding the functional integrity of the nervous system of a patient who, typically, is anesthetized and therefore cannot he neurologically examined.
