Surgical Outcomes and Prognostic Factors for Resectability of Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumors Incorporating Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring In Vietnam

Our study demonstrated the efficacy of IONM in improving surgical outcomes for patients undergoing intramedullary tumor resection. The outcomes of patients with intramedullary tumors post-surgery with IONM were significantly affected by the preoperative McCormick Scale and SSEPs changes during surgery. Predictive factors for resectability were tumor size in preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and intraoperative MEPs changes.
