Global
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) also called as Intraoperative neurophysiological
monitoring is a procedure that uses specialized equipment to evaluate function of nervous
system including nerves and spinal cord during neural surgeries. The role of intraoperative
neuromonitoring is to provide immediate feedback and warning to the surgeon for prevention of
permanent nerve injury as a result of iatrogenic damage. The IONM is usually employed as it
increases safety and improves outcomes during a spine surgery. The neural activity is measured
in terms of electrically evoked potentials from the nerves with the help of an equipment called
electroencephalogram (EEG). The intraoperative neuromonitoring is beneficial to the patient as it
allows the assessment of nerve tissue function during surgery, making the surgery safe as
compared to conventional hardware tests such as X-rays and CT scans. The IONM is also quick,
painless, easy and inexpensive. It can record the nerve function multiple times or even
throughout the entire process of surgery. Increasing number of mortality during spinal surgeries
major factor driving the growth of global intraoperative neuromonitoring market. For instance,
according to a research survey conducted by Scoliosis Research Society, U.S, a total of 197
mortalities was reported among 108,419 patients that had undergone neural surgery.

The global intraoperative neuromonitoring market was valued at US$ 2,632.4 million in 2016
and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 6.53% over the forecast period (2017 - 2025).
Market Dynamics
The high risk to nervous system associated with surgeries increases demand for intraoperative
neuromonitoring, which is major factor driving growth of the global intraoperative
neuromonitoring market. According to the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
2014, iatrogenic nerve injuries accounted for 17.4% of the total traumatic nerve injuries.
Moreover, according to World Health Organization (WHO) factsheet of 2015, around 80%
