Abstrakt: In thyroid and parathyroid surgical procedures, good visibility of the thyroid gland is essential. This is traditionally achieved by means of traction sutures of the dermo-plastysmal flaps to the drapes of the operative field, producing tension and even damage to the skin. The Alexis ® retractor ring improves exposure and facilitates stable access to the thyroid, protecting the skin from injury during the intervention.
