Table-fixed retractor system for noncranial surgery. Technical note.
A retractor system based on the principle of table fixation of the retraction device has been fabricated and utilized in a broad range of noncranial procedures. Based on the refinement of self-retaining brain retractor methods, this device allows an atraumatic fixed exposure without the danger of "self-retained devices" impaling soft tissue and the compromises of hand-held retractors.
