In no instance were positive SSEP findings clinically useful in alerting the surgeon to potential intraoperative complications. Intraoperative SSEP monitoring is not helpful to the surgeon when performing routine ACDF. Additionally, ACDF is a safe procedure with a low rate of neurologic complications.
