Abstract

A nerve mapping system includes an energy based dissection device, a plurality of beacons, and a processing device. The plurality of beacons are disposed in a tissue of a patient. Each beacon is adapted to transmit one or more first electrical signals within the body and receive one or more second energy signals. The processing device is adapted to determine first locations associated with the plurality of beacons, a second location associated with the energy based dissection device, and a third location associated with a nerve within the tissue, based on the one or more second signals, generate a mapping of the first locations, second location, and third location, and cause the first locations, second location, and third location to be displayed on a display device.
