Neurophysiological monitoring is a vital tool for ensuring the safety of PLF surgeries. Techniques like SSEPs, EMG, and EMG allow surgeons to identify and address complications before they cause lasting harm. Hospitals and surgical centers should adopt these technologies to enhance patient safety, reduce complications, and improve surgical outcomes.

The success of spinal fusion surgery depends on precise pedicle screw placement. Even slight misalignment can cause severe complications, from nerve injury to fusion failure. By utilizing SSEPs, MEPs, forms of EMG, and advanced imaging, surgeons can ensure optimal placement, minimize risks, and improve patient outcomes.

Gliomas, particularly glioblastomas, represent some of the most aggressive forms of brain tumors, often invading areas critical for cognitive and motor functions. Surgical intervention is paramount for managing these malignancies, with maximal tumor resection being the goal.
However, this goal must balance carefully with preserving essential brain functions, especially when tumors are located in eloquent brain regions. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has become an indispensable tool in this regard, and recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have further transformed its application in neuro-oncology.

Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has revolutionized the treatment of esophageal cancer by reducing postoperative complications and improving recovery rates. Yet, the intricate nature of these procedures, particularly 3-field esophagectomy with extensive lymphadenectomy, poses significant risks to critical structures like the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs). Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has emerged as a valuable tool to mitigate these risks, offering a path to safer and more effective surgeries.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is a cornerstone of modern surgical safety providing real-time feedback on neural function to help prevent complications. One of its greatest strengths lies in its versatility, employing multiple monitoring modalities tailored to specific surgical needs.
From somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) to motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and electroencephalography (EEG), each modality plays a unique role in safeguarding patient outcomes.

When it comes to groundbreaking surgeries, every decision in the operating room can mean the difference between a successful outcome and life-altering complications. Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) has proven to be a critical tool in reducing surgical risks and improving outcomes in high-profile cases. By providing real-time feedback on neural function, IONM enables surgeons to make data-driven decisions, enhancing patient safety in even the most complex procedures.

The superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass is a specialized procedure designed to improve blood flow to the brain. While the technique offers life-saving benefits, it also carries significant risks. One crucial way to mitigate these risks and improve patient outcomes is through intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).
February 27, 2025
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a widely performed surgical procedure for treating nerve root or spinal cord compression in the neck. For patients experiencing symptoms like chronic neck and back pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms and neck, an ACDF surgery can help them find relief and regain quality of life.
February 27, 2025
Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a surgical procedure that addresses lumbar spine instability and degenerative issues through a less invasive spinal fusion. The process involves placing implants that help stabilize the spine while allowing the bones to fuse over time.
September 04, 2024
Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that offers a promising solution for patients suffering from chronic back pain, leg pain, and related neurological symptoms.
