Abstract:
Brain retraction is crucial for adequate exposure during many intracranial procedures. It facilitates the access to the area of interest inside the brain and gives the surgeon the ability to create a corridor to visualize the deeply seated lesions. Retraction-related injury is a well-known complication. A minimally invasive retraction system has been invented and modified to improve the downside of retraction and overcome the complications. The syringe brain port system is a transtubular system composed of simple tools that are available in all medical facilities. It can help the neurosurgeons to achieve brain retraction in a safe, simple, and cost-effective technique. We are presenting a video of how to make this system. Also, we are demonstrating an intraoperative application of this system in a case of a 36-year-old male with deep-seated recurrent right frontal glioblastoma multiforme grade IV.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
Systematic or...
