Safety during scoliosis surgery with neuromonitoring:Maximizing patient safety

Scoliosis surgery is a complex procedure that requires precise planning and execution to achieve optimal results and minimize complications. At our clinic, we use state-of-the-art technologies to ensure the safety of our patients throughout the entire surgical procedure. One particularly important technology we use is neuromonitoring.

What is neuromonitoring?

Neuromonitoring is a sophisticated technique that allows our surgeons to monitor nerve function in real time during surgery. By placing electrodes along the nerve pathways, we can detect electrical signals and detect potential damage or impairment of nerve function early.

How does neuromonitoring work during scoliosis surgery?

During scoliosis surgery, neuromonitoring can be used to monitor nerve function near the surgical site. This is particularly important because scoliosis surgery is often performed near the spine, where nerve injuries can lead to serious complications. Through precise monitoring, potential risks can be identified early and appropriate measures can be taken to avoid nerve damage.

Advantages of neuromonitoring during scoliosis surgery:

  • Early detection of nerve complications: Neuromonitoring makes it possible to detect nerve damage in real time before it can lead to serious complications.

  • Precise Instrument Placement: By monitoring nerve function, our surgeons can place instruments precisely and avoid manipulation near nerves.

  • Improved Safety: The use of neuromonitoring helps minimize the risk of postoperative nerve complications and maximize patient safety.

Why do we choose neuromonitoring?

At our clinic, we have decided to use neuromonitoring during scoliosis operations to ensure the best possible safety for our patients. This advanced technology is an integral part of our treatment approach and allows us to perform surgical procedures with the utmost precision and safety.

If you have any further questions about scoliosis surgery or the use of neuromonitoring, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to answer your questions and arrange a consultation.
