Suction in neurosurgery

  • Published:
Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Conventional suction systems for neurosurgery are assessed against the background of findings in experimental investigations. Criteria for optimum suction are proposed. The advantages of a modified suction system for neurosurgery are discussed, and recommendations are given.
