文摘
- •
Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) in treatment of cervical myelopathy was analyzed.
- •
Variations exist in evaluation of complications with anterior spinal procedures.
- •
Evidence does not exist to refute or validate the use of IOM for such procedures.
- •
Measuring neurological deficits with IOM could prevent injuries due to surgery.
