Abstract
An adaptor for continuous stimulation of the facial nerve (SACS) to be used with the WR-S8 Monitor/Stimulator during otologic surgery has been developed. This device allows the surgeon to use the electrified air drill and microsurgical instruments instead of a probe-tip during dissection. The SACS saves surgical time, is easy and convenient to use, and is safe. Routine monitoring of facial nerve function using SACS has helped prevent iatrogenic facial nerve injuries and has improved our ability to save the facial nerve during otologic and neurotologic surgery.
