Although intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring can aid in detecting and reducing postoperative neurological complications, its use is still controversial.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A retrospective chart review of 6,577 scoliotic patients who underwent surgery for curve correction with a reported complication was conducted. Our dataset was sourced from the morbidity and mortality database of the Scoliosis Research Society spanning the period from 2013 to 2023. The sensitivity of intraoperative monitoring was evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Intraoperative monitoring was used in 60% of surgeries, while 26% of the reported complications in the study cohort were new postoperative neurologic deficits. The overall monitoring performance indicated a sensitivity of 45%. Neurogenic motor evoked potential showed the best outcomes among the individual monitoring methods. The highest sensitivity (60.4%) was achieved using four monitoring methods, demonstrating significantly better results than one, two, and three methods.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The monitoring practice benefits in distinguishing postoperative neurologic deficits within the scoliosis population.
