Abstract:
This paper reviews the literature of the brain retraction injury during the last century. The review focused on the instrument characteristic as well as the physiopathological and histopathological damage of the brain induced by brain retraction. It was found that lesions were induced by cerebral ischemia. We conclude that a better monitoring system needs to be developed to avoid brain injury.
