The weepy cry - short neural signal bursts in intraoperative neuromonitoring.

Purpose: This study aimed to establish an in-vitro alternative to existing in-vivo systems to analyze nerve dysfunction using continuous neuromonitoring (C-IONM).

Methods: Three hundred sixty-three recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) (N = 304, N = 59) from food industry cadavers were exposed by microsurgical dissection following euthanasia. After rinsing with Ringer's lactate, they were tempered at 22 °C.
