    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Brain retraction is crucial in neurosurgery.
    • Current retractors may require improved stability and integration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new extracranial holder for brain retractors.
    • To evaluate its utility and integration in operating room procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a novel extracranial holder design.
    • Assessment of its compatibility with standard operating table sliding rails.
    • Clinical evaluation in a surgical setting.

    Main Results:

    • The extracranial holder allows for solid incorporation onto operating table rails.
    • The device has been successfully and satisfactorily used in the operating room for more than one year.
    • Demonstrated reliable performance in supporting brain retractors during procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • The new extracranial holder provides a stable and integrated solution for brain retraction.
    • Its successful year-long use validates its practical application and effectiveness in neurosurgical procedures.
