Basic Craniotomy Instrument Set Up | Neurosurgery

Shoutout to my fellow Surgical Technologist and coworker Gee! My brother had a Craniotomy Tray open for a procedure and took the time to break down the instrumentation and supplies that he had on his back table. Let me know in the comments what type of content and videos that you guys and gals want to see next. Peace and blessings!

The hand held retractors are called Cushing Sub-temporal retractors and are used often after incision to retract the scalp and muscle tissue when clearing the cranium with the langenbeck periosteal elevator. Prob not the best place to put your cerebellar retractors as they could touch something unsterile or fall off the back of your table.

Those Cerebellums on the edges of the table could've been in safer spot. Also you should move Sterile items once only instead of constantly moving things around.

I have never heard that before.

Real world, we move things around alot. Yes, it would be awesome to move it once and leave it, but sometimes you get extra trays, or you find that you don't want something in that place and you decide to move it. Things happen and you probably will never find a tech that moves its once and leaves it there.

Can one please do video on Oro-Maxillofacial surgical instrunents when the time is available. I have a big interst in that field of medicine speciality due to my diagnosis from birth.

Raney Clip Appliers for Raney Clips and/or Scalp Clip appliers for Scalp Clip. Both for hemostasis.

Those are called rainy clip applies. It’s not for retraction. It’s more for hemostasis.

I’m sorry to hear that I’ll definitely be doing more set ups with these instruments in the future and I hope to make something that can help you.
