Recommendations of the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology for intraoperative somatosensory evoked potentials

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are an important part of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) because they provide functional and localizing information about the dorsal somatosensory system and complement motor evoked potentials (MEPs). This document reviews relevant anatomy, physiology, methodology, interpretation and applications and forms recommendations of the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology for intraoperative SEPs. It is also endorsed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
