There are many things we find important to the world of healthcare and neuromonitoring. Here we post helpful information for our patients, hospitals, and surgeons.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring for Neuro-Oncology

March 31, 2025

Gliomas, particularly glioblastomas, represent some of the most aggressive forms of brain tumors, often invading areas critical for cognitive and motor functions. Surgical intervention is paramount for managing these malignancies, with maximal tumor resection being the goal. 

However, this goal must balance carefully with preserving essential brain functions, especially when tumors are located in eloquent brain regions. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has become an indispensable tool in this regard, and recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have further transformed its application in neuro-oncology.

Optimizing Outcomes in Minimally Invasive Surgeries with Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)

March 31, 2025

Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has revolutionized the treatment of esophageal cancer by reducing postoperative complications and improving recovery rates. Yet, the intricate nature of these procedures, particularly 3-field esophagectomy with extensive lymphadenectomy, poses significant risks to critical structures like the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs). Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has emerged as a valuable tool to mitigate these risks, offering a path to safer and more effective surgeries.

How IONM Modalities are Revolutionizing Modern Surgery

March 31, 2025

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is a cornerstone of modern surgical safety providing real-time feedback on neural function to help prevent complications. One of its greatest strengths lies in its versatility, employing multiple monitoring modalities tailored to specific surgical needs. 

From somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) to motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and electroencephalography (EEG), each modality plays a unique role in safeguarding patient outcomes.

Surgical Risk Mitigation with IONM in High-Profile Cases

March 31, 2025

When it comes to groundbreaking surgeries, every decision in the operating room can mean the difference between a successful outcome and life-altering complications. Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) has proven to be a critical tool in reducing surgical risks and improving outcomes in high-profile cases. By providing real-time feedback on neural function, IONM enables surgeons to make data-driven decisions, enhancing patient safety in even the most complex procedures.

Bilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve SSEP Changes During STA to MCA Bypass

February 27, 2025

The superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass is a specialized procedure designed to improve blood flow to the brain. While the technique offers life-saving benefits, it also carries significant risks. One crucial way to mitigate these risks and improve patient outcomes is through intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).

Enhancing Patient Safety in an ACDF Surgery with Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

February 27, 2025

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a widely performed surgical procedure for treating nerve root or spinal cord compression in the neck. For patients experiencing symptoms like chronic neck and back pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms and neck, an ACDF surgery can help them find relief and regain quality of life. 

Neuromonitoring During PLIF Prevents Complications and Improves Surgical Success

February 27, 2025

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a surgical procedure that addresses lumbar spine instability and degenerative issues through a less invasive spinal fusion. The process involves placing implants that help stabilize the spine while allowing the bones to fuse over time. 

The Critical Role of Precise Positioning in Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Procedures

September 04, 2024

Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that offers a promising solution for patients suffering from chronic back pain, leg pain, and related neurological symptoms.

Neurophysiological Monitoring in Shoulder Reversal and Revision Surgery

September 04, 2024

Shoulder reversal and revision surgeries are complex procedures that require precision, especially when addressing complications from previous implants.

Ulnar Nerve Positional Change for Posterior Lumbar Case

August 07, 2024

By utilizing modalities such as SSEPs, TCeMEPs, EMG, TOF, and EEG, this operation’s surgeons were able to better detect and mitigate potential nerve injuries in real time.
