Abstract
Surgery may generally be regarded as a risk-filled method for treating diseases, and many forms of surgery have a potential for causing injury to the nervous system. Since such injuries may not be detected by visual inspection of the operative field by the surgeon, they may occur and progress without the surgeon’s knowledge. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring involves the use of neurophysiological recordings for detecting changes in the function of the nervous system that are caused by surgically induced insults while the changes are still reversible.
