A nerve probe attachable and detachable to and from a surgical instrument, comprising:
- a connection cable 120 connected to a power supply 300 and configured to transmit an electric current applied thereto from the power supply 300;
- and
- a main body block 110 formed as a block body of a predetermined size at a distal end of the connection cable 120 so as to be detachably attached to a surgical instrument 1 made of an electrically conductive material, the main body block 110 being made of an electrically conductive material so as to receive the electric current from the connection cable 120 for application to the surgical instrument 1,
- whereby the electric current is applied to body tissue with which the surgical instrument 1 comes into close contact during surgery through the connection cable 120, the main body block 110, and the surgical instrument 1, and an electric signal generated from a muscle movement by the applied electric current is detected through a signal-detecting electrode 230 attached to a preset point of a body region and then is inputted to a nerve monitoring system 200 to allow a nerve to be identified by electromyogram analysis.
