She subsequently developed outflow stenosis that was\u0000treated with a stent placement. She was admitted for deceased donor kidney transplantation and preoperative\u0000x-ray showed migration of the stent into a segmental pulmonary artery. After a pre-operative,\u0000multidisciplinary discussion between interventional radiology, cardiothoracic surgery, transplant\u0000nephrology and transplant surgery, the decision was made to proceed with rental transplantation followed\u0000by stent removal.

However, one of the frequent risks is the neurological injury. The use of intraoperative\u0000evoked potentials allows its control in order to modify the surgical gestures. The purpose of this study was\u0000to evaluate the results of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring in large reconstructive arthroplasty\u0000surgeries.\u0000Case presentation: A prospective study (2012-2018) was performed, including 8 patients with 6 complete\u0000resections of the femur and 2 resections of the pelvis. In all cases, intraoperative lumbar plexus monitoring\u0000was performed using evoked potentials in order to analyze variations during surgery as well as a\u0000postoperative control. 100% could be correctly monitored throughout the surgery. In 4 cases, intraoperative\u0000anomalies were detected requiring modification of the surgery. Of these, postoperatively only one nerve\u0000injury persisted: a complete sciatic nerve injury due to an intraoperative vascular injury.\u0000Conclusion: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is a very useful resource in large oncological\u0000resection, allowing detection of nerve distress due to manipulation or excessive limb traction during\u0000reconstruction.
