title: The Leyla retractor: use in acoustic neuroma and neurotologic surgery.
abstract: The Leyla retractor is a self-retaining retractor used in the translabyrinthine removal of acoustic neuroma and middle fossa surgery. It is used to maintain constant, even pressure on a decompressed sigmoid sinus and cerebellum in translabyrinthine surgery and the temporal lobe in middle fossa surgery. The Leyla retractor provides excellent exposure and greater freedom and dexterity for the neurotologist.
