Abstract
Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring is a routine procedure in spinal surgery. SSEPs are sensitive in the detection of neurological insults caused by mechanical stress, surgical manipulation and ischemia [1]. However, they can be unreliable in cases with poor waveform morphology, both preoperatively and intraoperatively. In some centers, an additional preoperative SSEP study is not performed as a routine.
