Summary

This trial tests whether monitoring sacral reflexes during surgery can predict nerve function afterward. Patients undergoing sacrectomy for pelvic bone cancer or spinal procedures will have their reflexes tracked in real time. The goal is to help surgeons make decisions and prepare patients for possible changes in bowel, bladder, or sexual function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Intraoperative nerve monitoring
What this could lead to
If successful, this monitoring technique could help surgeons protect pelvic nerves during surgery and better prepare patients for potential changes in bowel, bladder, or sexual function.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The monitoring may not reliably predict outcomes in every case.
