Abstract
Revisions were made to our new brain retractor with respect as follows. A knob was added to each shaft of the new brain retractor to facilitate handling. The angle between the shaft and the blade can now be adjusted from 60 to 135 degrees, which is useful in deep, narrow operative fields. Three blade lengths (20, 30, and 40 mm) are now available. The new retractor is entirely made from titanium. This revised brain retractor is very useful for the dissection of sylvian and interhemispheric arachnoid membranes, as well as in the extirpation of intracerebral masses via corticotomy.
