Abstract

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has become a widely employed surgical adjunct in a range of otolaryngology operations. The adoption of monitoring has been particularly acute in the areas of ear, thyroid, and parotid surgery. Training with IONM in residency and fellowship programs is now mandated by a number of educational oversight groups. This reflects how integral IONM has become in surgical otolaryngology.
