Spinal Monitoring System: Real-Time Cord Protection for Spine Surgery

“Before we adopted Spinal Monitoring, our team relied mainly on wake‑up tests and postoperative assessments to evaluate spinal cord function. Since implementing comprehensive Spinal Monitoring, we have been able to identify early changes in MEP and SSEP during deformity corrections and adjust our technique in real time. In several cases, Spinal Monitoring alerted us to signal loss during rod rotation, prompting us to reverse the maneuver and restore function. Our complication rates have decreased, and both surgeons and patients feel more secure knowing that Spinal Monitoring is in place for high‑risk procedures.”

“Intramedullary tumor surgery is among the most challenging work we do, and adding Spinal Monitoring has fundamentally changed our risk profile. The multimodal Spinal Monitoring setup lets us track both sensory and motor pathways continuously while we dissect around critical structures. When signals remain stable, Spinal Monitoring gives us the confidence to pursue more complete resections; when they change, we know it is time to stop or modify our approach. The system’s templates and reporting tools make it easy for our team to apply Spinal Monitoring consistently from one case to the next.”

“From a service and training perspective, introducing Spinal Monitoring across our hospital has been a successful project. The platform’s intuitive interface and procedure‑specific presets reduce the learning curve for new technologists, and our surgeons now request Spinal Monitoring routinely for complex spine cases. Standardized documentation produced by the Spinal Monitoring system feeds directly into our quality improvement program, allowing us to correlate intraoperative events with outcomes. Overall, Spinal Monitoring has strengthened collaboration between surgery, anesthesia and neurophysiology and elevated the standard of care we can offer.”
