| Abstrakt: |
A system for self-retaining retraction that has also been used as part of a technique of dissection in microneurosurgery is described. Small, multiple (i.e., more than two) blades can be used easily with a positioning opportunity of 360 degrees of purchase and without the necessity of another surgeon. Hand tremor, which is not particularly during microsurgery, has been dealt with by the development of a system for stabilization by a handrest. The components of the system, its sequential assembly, and its use are described and illustrated. |
