1. A robotic surgical system for use in a surgical procedure performed on a patient, the system comprising:
a robotic arm comprising an end-effector;
an actuator for controlled movement of the robotic arm and positioning of the end effector;
a neuromonitoring module for implementing real-time neuromonitoring during a surgical procedure, wherein the neuromonitoring module is integrated with a tool holder attached to the robotic arm; and
a processor and a memory storing instructions thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:
receive, by the neuromonitoring module, a trigger based on a neurological response of a portion of a nerve structure of the patient that is measured by a neuromonitoring system; and
prevent, by the neuromonitoring module, deeper insertion into the patient of a surgical instrument guided by the robotic surgical system upon receipt of the trigger.
