title: [Somatosensory evoked potentials and electromyography in spinal cord intraoperative monitoring].
abstract: Intraoperative monitoring can be defined as an application of several electroneurophysiological techniques for nervous system monitoring throughout the surgery. The principal goal of monitoring is to identify new neurologic impairment early enough to find the cause and to prevent permanent deficits. This paper reviews monitoring techniques during surgery for spinal deformity.
