Overview

Aim of study is presentatiton of technical progress of head frame fixation in microneurosurgery.

Discussion:
The use of Sugita multipurpose head fixation frame is complex device. It enables stabile head fixation in different operative approaches and the use of self-retaining brain retractors. Spring soft tissue retractors are condition of smaller craniotomy.

Conclusion:
This ergonomic device helps to optimize microsurgical operative approaches in the field of neurotramatology as well as in elective procecures.

Key words:
Microneurosurgery, Mayfield head frame, Sugita head frame, ergonomics.
