Findings from University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Provides New Data about Clinical Neurophysiology (The Predictive Value of Intraoperative Facial Motor Evoked Potentials In Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor Surgery).

A study conducted by the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) explored the value of intraoperative facial motor evoked potentials (FMEP) in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor surgery. The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 studies involving 1,206 participants. The study found that FMEP demonstrated statistically significant accuracy for facial function monitoring in CPA tumor surgery. The research concluded that certain methods were most useful in the application of FMEPs. This information is valuable for future clinical practice and prospective studies in this field.
