THE IONM ACADEMY

ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR SUCCESS IN SURGERY

Competence for Safety Safety for Excellence

Your mind-set

You perceive your patient's postoperative impaired function or loss of function
of brain or nerval structures as personal defeat.
Your Goal: lowest rate of complications possible
Your Mission "Nihil nocere"!
Every successfull surgical procedure free from complication
is a personal victory for you!
  • You are a surgeon with all of your heart, body and soul - with passion.
  • You leave nothing to chance.
  • You demand highest deals on yourself.
  • You strive for surgical excellence, thus, you subordinate a lot of your life to this goal.
  • When it comes to demanding, complexe brain-, nerve-sparing surgical procedures you did not yet meet your high degree of perfection and surgical excellence.
  • Thus, you constantly file on all aspects relevant for best possible surgical outcomes: consistently diagnostic preoperative without a gab, best possible surgical setting and optimized procedures, perfect cooperation of the team in the operating theatre and at the operating table, surgical all-over-strategy, pre-, intra-, postoperative surgical all-over-concept

Gain clarity, which 6 + 3 characteristics you meet, striving for surgical excellence!

Your motivation:

folding chair instead of wheel chair!

Your surgical know-how, passion and motivation

make a huge difference for your patients' postoperative outcome !

Deck Chairs
  • Reduce the risk of deafness, dizziness and swaying, changes in taste, impaired visual function, reduced intellectual ability, impaired concentration, difficult attention and impaired speech ability and changes in the personality of your patients!
  • Enable for your patients to have a fulfilled sexuality, at the same time continence of stool and urine despite tumor-disease! Avert impotence and incontinence!
  • Preserve the mobility of your patients! Prevent paralyzes on the arms in the shoulder area and on the legs of your patients!
  • Protect your patients from losing their voice during thyroid surgery!
  • Ensure the functionality of all five senses such as a well-working brain- and brain-nerve-performance for your patients!

Obstacles & distractions

on your way striving for surgical excellence

  • Need for background-knowledge about brain- and nerve-sparing surgical techniques. You perceive this as an open flank to be crossed. This knowledge was only partly part of your medical training so far.
  • Individual differences in anatomic situs you detect intraoperatively
    You don't like these kind of "suprises". Thus, you need to master situations like these in spite of preoperative diagnostic options on a daily bases. Intraoperative neuromonitoring is scientifically proven the only option to minimize these kind of insecurities. 
  • Uncertainty in applying intraoperative neuromonitoring 
    You want to elimination these non-mastered skills you don't appreciate when it comes to surgery.
  • Uncoordiniated team in the operating theatre and at the operating table
    These distract your focus on the surgical procedure. You prefer to fully concentrate, especially, when it comes to save brain and nerval function and leave these impaired! Reduced concentration opens the door widely for intra-operative lesions you try to prevent.
  • Weak surgical all-over-strategy
    All the factors mentioned increase the probability of lesions of brain and nerval structures intra-operatively. Even if you have the best plan preoperatively - what counts is the ability to implement your strategy which you can't when you meet all these obstacles!
  • Reduction or loss of function and increased complication rates, negative surgical outcome:
    These put pressure on you and are obstacles on your way to surgical excellence you are striving for. Thus, you want to adjust and regulate every screw possible, optimize procedures and perfectionalize your surgical over-all strategy.

All these are meant to belong to the past, because in the near future you don't want to leave anything to chance!
