Intraoperative neuromonitoring for scoliosis surgery: is there an end to justify the means?

Effectiveness of Halo-Pelvic Traction and Thoracoplasty for Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Cardiopulmonary Function in Patients With Severe Spinal Deformity

“…With the development of spinal osteotomies, pedicle screw fixation systems, and intraoperative neuromonitoring technology, more patients with spinal deformities can be treated. 2,3 However, long-term severe spinal deformity can lead to spinal stiffness, which makes spinal osteotomy particularly difficult and risky. As a result, it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory therapeutic effect in one-stage spinal osteotomy.…”
