Abstract:
Sterility and utility are essential in surgical draping. For craniotomy, we modified the course of the irrigation hose to maintain a free foot space for the surgeon by connection with a suction bottle placed beside the patient's body through a slit made in the linen. This minor modification provides convenience to the surgeon during operations.
