Our connection to the world around us exists in a delicate bundle of nerves sheathed by a protective column of bone. The canal that guards this communication superhighway channel it down the length of the back, feeding and receiving information to and from every corner of our bodies. What happens when this continuum of densely packed nerves is disrupted, when the channel that houses our spinal cord and is designed to protect it, is the same thing that obstructs it?

Motor vehicle accidents can be traumatizing life-altering events that leave your body in shambles. In 2018 alone, there were over 33,000 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the US. Pair this level of devastation with pre-existing conditions and it spells a recipe for disaster. For those with an existing physical ailment such as back problems, the consequences of such an incident can be catastrophic.

Benign or malignant, the word tumor elicits fear in even the most tenacious of hearts. Due to its association with cancer, tumors are notoriously known for the specific danger they can entail for anyone unlucky enough to come into their sights. Even benign tumors, while not cancerous, can have life-threatening complications. A tumor on the spinal cord, for example, can lead to serious pain, spinal instability, and even vertebral fractures. They affect neurological function by pushing on the spinal cord or nerve root and can result in permanent disabilities. Spinal tumors can change their lives forever.

"Intraoperative neuromonitoring reduces the risk of neurological injuries to a patient during surgery, which may not be evident until after the operation is complete," said Jahangiri.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) provides surgical teams with the necessary resources to provide a patient care level that otherwise would not be possible. IONM uses sensors placed on the patient's body to monitor the body's neural network's functional integrity. Information provided using this technique allows the surgeon to provide a safer and more controlled surgery, which is crucial to maintaining their quality of life post-surgery in the case of geriatric surgeries.

Without this discovery, made possible by Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring or IONM, the patient could have suffered from spinal cord or nerve damage resulting in muscle weakness, numbness, severe pain, and even paralysis, among other life-altering complications.
