- Equips the intraoperative monitoring provider with details of commonly monitored surgical procedures of the spine
- Rich in illustrations and photographs for ease of comprehension
- Provides detailed and relevant information on the surgical procedure to neuromonitoring professionals
This book equips the intraoperative monitoring provider (both technologist and physician) with details of commonly monitored surgical procedures of the spine. This knowledge better allows the monitorist to identify critical phases of the surgery and correlate those with neuroanatomical and functional risk at each phase.
Chapters are authored by a surgeon and neurophysiologist, with the surgeon contributing procedural content and the neurophysiologist contributing information on how the monitoring integrates within the context of the procedure. It is the first book that incorporates content about the surgical procedure directly with the intraoperative monitoring plan for the surgery.
