Awake Surgery and Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Awake Surgery & Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Awake surgery combined with intraoperative neuromonitoring is an advanced neurosurgical technique used to maximize surgical precision while protecting vital brain and spinal functions. At The Brain & Spine Clinic, this approach allows real-time monitoring of neurological activity during complex procedures.

Treatments

This advanced technique is commonly used for:

  • Brain tumor surgery near critical functional areas
  • Epilepsy surgery
  • Spine surgeries involving nerve monitoring
  • Tumors affecting speech, movement, or sensation
  • Complex neurological and spinal procedures

Continuous monitoring of nerve function helps surgeons make informed decisions during surgery, significantly improving safety and outcomes.


Why It Is Required

Awake surgery and neuromonitoring may be required when:

  • Tumors are located near speech or motor areas of the brain
  • There is a high risk of nerve damage during surgery
  • Precise functional preservation is critical
  • Complex spine surgery involves delicate nerve structures

This approach allows surgeons to actively assess neurological function during the procedure.


Benefits & Safety

Awake surgery and intraoperative neuromonitoring offer several advantages:

  • Reduced risk of neurological deficits
  • Greater precision during complex surgeries
  • Preservation of speech, movement, and sensation
  • Improved surgical outcomes and recovery
  • Enhanced patient safety throughout the procedure

Careful patient selection, expert surgical planning, and modern technology ensure a safe and comfortable surgical experience.
