Abstract
Neurological surgery carries inherent neurological risk despite the best of care. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) can be employed to assess the functional integrity of neuronal structures to prevent or at least mitigate injury to the neurological system. Although there are few instances where IONM is the true standard of care, in the last few decades, IONM has become common during many neurosurgical procedures. Routine use of IONM in spine surgery is still controversial, however.
