Value of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring to reduce neurological complications in patients undergoing anterior cervical spine procedures for cervical spondylotic myelopathy

Highlights • Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) in treatment of cervical myelopathy was analyzed. • Variations exist in evaluation of complications with anterior spinal procedures. • Evidence does not exist to refute or validate the use of IOM for such procedures. • Measuring neurological deficits with...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) in treatment of cervical myelopathy was analyzed. • Variations exist in evaluation of complications with anterior spinal procedures. • Evidence does not exist to refute or validate the use of IOM for such procedures. • Measuring neurological deficits with IOM could prevent injuries due to surgery.
