Study Design: This was a retrospective analysis.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the intraoperative neuromonitoring auxiliary significance of descending neurogenic-evoked potential (DNEP) for motor-evoked potential (MEP) during severe spinal deformity surgery when MEP-positive event occurs.
Summary Of Background Data: MEP detection is the most widely applied neurological monitoring technique in spinal deformity surgery. MEP is quite vulnerable to anesthesia, blood pressure, and other intraoperative factors, leading to a high false-positive rate of MEP (3.2%-45.0%), which has greatly interfered with the surgical process. At present, the widely used "presence-or-absence" alarm criteria of MEP is not enough to solve the problem of false positive of MEP.
Methods: A total of 205 cases undergoing severe spinal deformity correction were retrospectively studied. Overall, 74 MEP-positive cases were classified as 2 subgroups: DNEP (+) and DNEP (-) groups. The MEP recovery, wake-up test, and Frankle grade were used to assess the neurological functions. The perioperative and long-term neurological outcomes were assessed.
Results: There were significant differences in preoperative scoliosis angle and kyphosis angle between DNEP (-) and DNEP (+) groups. Patients in DNEP (-) group showed more MEP improvement (81.5%), compared with the DNEP (+) group (53.2%). The Wake-up test showed 59.3% motor function deficit cases in DNEP (-) group, which was lower than the 87.2% in DNEP (+) group. More patients in DNEP (-) group had normal nerve function (Frankel level E) than those in DNEP (+) group immediately after surgery, as well as at follow-up.
Conclusions: MEP-positive cases with intraoperative DNEP (-) showed superior prognosis after severe spinal deformity surgery. Intraoperative DNEP could be regarded as an important quantitative tool to assist MEP to monitor neurological injury and can serve as a temporary substitution monitoring technique after MEP is lost.

Does an improvement in cord-level intraoperative neuromonitoring data lead to a reduced risk for postoperative neurologic deficit in spine deformity surgery?
Spine Deform
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Columbia University Medical Center, The Daniel and Jane Och Spine Hospital at New York-Presbyterian, 5141 Broadway, New York, NY, 10034, USA.
Purpose: To determine if an improvement in cord-level intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) data following data loss results in a reduced risk for new postoperative motor deficit in pediatric and adult spinal deformity surgery.
Methods: A consecutive series of 1106 patients underwent spine surgery from 2015 to 2023 by a single surgeon. Cord alerts were defined by Somatosensory-Evoked Potentials (SSEP; warning criteria: 10% increase in latency or > 50% loss in amplitude) and Motor-Evoked Potentials (MEP; warning criteria: 75% loss in amplitude without return to acceptable limits after stimulation up 100 V above baseline level).

Article Synopsis
- * It involved 180 patients, divided into two groups based on anesthesia type, and found that DNEP monitoring had high sensitivity and specificity for detecting potential neurological issues.
- * Results showed that DNEP is an effective tool for preventing neurological deficits during surgery, especially as a viable option when using inhaled anesthesia.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different combined evoked potentials monitoring modes for non-osteotomy and osteotomy surgery of spinal deformity, and to select individualized modes for various surgeries. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a total of 188 consecutive cases undergoing spinal deformity correction. All patients were classified into 2 cohorts: non-osteotomy (Group A) and osteotomy (Group B).
