Abstract |
Correction of cervical deformity is associated with a considerable risk of neurological deterioration. The use of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM) can, however, significantly increase patient safety. Nonetheless, data on the effectiveness of IOM during reconstructive cervical surgery are very limited. Since the surgical maneuvers in reconstructive cervical surgery represent the same dangers to the spinal cord as in scoliosis correction, the same influence of IOM on the clinical outcome may be assumed. IOM has been shown to decrease the rate of neurological complications in scoliosis surgery. Herein, we discuss the current evidence for the efficacy of IOM during reconstructive cervical surgery as well as during scoliosis surgery. |
