What is Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)?

IONM is a set of techniques used during surgery to monitor the function of nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain. It helps detect any potential damage to these structures in real time, allowing the surgical team to take immediate action to prevent permanent injury.

IONM is typically used in high-risk surgeries that involve critical nerve or spinal structures, such as neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, or surgeries involving the spine and peripheral nerves. It helps ensure the safety of these areas during the procedure and reduces the risk of neurological damage.

Will the IONM results affect the outcome of my surgery?

The primary goal of IONM is to ensure the safety of critical neural pathways during surgery. If there are any changes detected, the surgical team can make adjustments to reduce the risk of permanent damage, which can ultimately improve your outcome.

A trained neurophysiologist or an IONM technician typically manages the monitoring process. They work closely with the surgeon to ensure that nerve pathways are properly monitored throughout the surgery.​
