Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is a technique used during surgical procedures to monitor the functional integrity of neural structures in real-time. This approach is particularly valuable in surgeries that involve the nervous system, such as spinal surgeries, brain surgeries, and procedures that might risk damaging critical neural pathways.
