    A novel multipurpose head frame was developed for microneurosurgery, integrating essential tools for improved surgical efficiency. This innovative device has been successfully utilized in 100 operations over the past year.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Microneurosurgery demands precise and stable patient positioning.
    • Current instrumentation may require multiple setups, increasing operative time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new multipurpose head frame designed for microneurosurgery.
    • To evaluate the utility and integration of various surgical components within a single device.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and fabrication of a novel head frame system.
    • Integration of a head holder, brain retractors, hand rests, instrument holders, and skin-flap retractors.
    • Clinical application in 100 microneurosurgical procedures.

    Main Results:

    • The head frame successfully accommodated self-retaining brain retractors, hand rests, instrument holders, and skin-flap retractors.
