What is intraoperative neuromonitoring?
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a technique used during
surgery to monitor the function of the nervous system in
real-time to prevent potential damage.
Why is intraoperative neuromonitoring important in spinal
surgeries?
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is crucial in spinal
surgeries as it helps surgeons to assess and protect the
spinal cord and nerves, reducing the risk of postoperative
complications.
What are the benefits of using spinal implants?
Spinal implants provide stability, support, and alignment
to the spine, helping to alleviate pain, improve function,
and promote healing in patients with spinal conditions.
How does intraoperative neuromonitoring enhance patient
safety?
By continuously monitoring the nervous system during
surgery, intraoperative neuromonitoring allows for early
detection of any potential issues, leading to prompt
intervention and improved patient outcomes.
Is intraoperative neuromonitoring a standard practice in
spinal surgeries?
While not always mandatory, intraoperative neuromonitoring
is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in ensuring
patient safety and optimizing surgical outcomes in complex
spinal procedures.
