Surgical Monitoring Associates

Surgical Monitoring Associates (SMA) is a premier provider of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) services, dedicated to enhancing patient safety during complex surgical procedures. The company utilizes advanced electrophysiological monitoring techniques, including Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP), Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP), and Electromyography (EMG), to provide real-time feedback to surgeons regarding the functional integrity of the nervous system. By identifying potential neural injury before it becomes permanent, SMA helps reduce the risk of post-operative neurological deficits. In 2011, the company was acquired by SpecialtyCare, the leading provider of outsourced clinical services, which integrated SMA's expertise into its national network of surgical support services.
