The surgeon's perspective: Using neuromonitoring data when it matters most
Tuesday, April 28th, 2026 | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CT
When neurologic signals shift unexpectedly mid-procedure, the decisions that follow can define outcomes. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has become a critical tool for spine surgeons navigating complex cases, but its value depends on how well it is integrated into surgical planning, team communication and real-time decision-making.
In this webinar, hear from SpecialtyCare and two spine surgeons from Harvard Medical School as they discuss how neuromonitoring data informs decision-making during high-risk spine procedures, from pediatric deformity corrections to complex adult decompressions.
Drawing on specific case experiences, the speakers will explore the distinct challenges IONM presents across patient populations, the operational and clinical considerations that shape effective use, and what a strong neuromonitoring partnership looks like from the surgeon’s perspective.

Key takeaways:
- How surgeons interpret and act on neuromonitoring signals during critical intraoperative moments
- Why neuromonitoring needs differ between pediatric deformity and adult spine cases
- What surgeons and care teams value in a neuromonitoring partner
