Self-retaining brain retractors are commonly used during intracranial surgery, and they are indispensable during microneurosurgery. There is a common severe complication due to the use of self-held retractors, that is, formation of a hemorrhagic infarct area in the brain region exposed to traction. All the more, present retractor systems are fixed and rigid and obstruct surgeons during surgery. Sometimes these retractors create glare in the microscope that distracts the surgeon. We hereby propose a simple and easy method of retraction of brain especially the temporal lobe using the transsylvian approach and vermis using the transvermian approach.
