Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring is an imaging method that allows real-time monitoring of the effects on the nervous system during surgery

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring is an imaging method that allows real-time monitoring of the effects on the nervous system during surgery. This technology continuously tracks the electrical activity in the nerves. This enables surgeons to receive immediate feedback on the effects of their interventions and take preventive measures to avoid potential damage to the patient, especially in highly sensitive areas such as spinal surgery.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) systems operate through electrodes placed on muscles or nerves, recording the electrical activity of the targeted nerves during surgery. The data from the nervous system is transmitted in real-time to a computer, allowing surgeons to detect even the smallest changes. This immediate feedback helps in monitoring the effects of surgical interventions and ensuring that any potential damage to the nerves is promptly addressed.
