Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) is a crucial component of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), specifically designed to assess the nervous system's sensory or ascending/afferent pathways. These pathways transmit sensory signals from the extremities to the brain via the spinal cord and brainstem. SSEPs play a vital role in monitoring the optimal functional condition of these pathways during complex surgeries, thereby mitigating the risk of potential damage to the patient.
