Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) plays a crucial role in peripheral nerve surgeries by providing real-time feedback on the functional integrity of nerves during surgical procedures. IONM helps identify the nerves and minimize the risk of nerve damage, a significant concern in hand surgeries due to the complex network of nerves involved. By continuously monitoring the electrical activity of nerves, surgeons can make informed decisions, thereby improving surgical outcomes and reducing postoperative complications. IONM techniques commonly used in these surgeries include electromyography (EMG), motor evoked potentials (MEPs), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs). These techniques allow for identifying and protecting critical nerve structures, particularly in delicate or high-risk procedures. Integrating IONM in peripheral nerve surgeries enhances the surgical intervention's precision and significantly improves patient safety and recovery.
