文摘

In neurosurgical procedures, avoiding damage of surrounding tissues such as muscle and periosteum during a craniotomy is important for esthetic and other reasons. We devised a protection tool by using an amputated syringe barrel to cover the perforating drill and protect temporal muscle damage. This device made it possible to prevent damage to surrounding tissues, such as the muscle and periosteum, during cranial perforation. This method could be useful as it is cost-effective, simple, and versatile.
