Intraoperative Somatosensory and Motor Evoked Potentials in Predicting Postoperative Neurological Deficits in Neuromuscular Scoliosis: A Study Level Meta-analysis (P5-11.033)
This study aimed to evaluate the role of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), utilizing somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP), as a real-time diagnostic tool to predict iatrogenic neurological injury and prevent postoperative neurological deficits (PPND) during spine correction surgery in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS).
