In vivo nerve identification in head and neck surgery using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy

Background Careful identification of nerves during head and neck surgery is essential to prevent nerve damage. Currently, nerves are identified based on anatomy and appearance, optionally combined with electromyography (EMG). In challenging cases, nerve damage is reported in up to 50%. Recently, opt...
