Although a rigid endoscope has the advantage of good visualization, there are risks of brain damage due to limited space to accommodate the scope and frequent lens soiling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This technical note describes a novel brain retractor to overcome the limitations of rigid endoscopy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The novel brain retractor (by senior author) was made by dividing a silicon tube longitudinally into two halves, and tapered for easy introduction in the operative cavity.

Endoscopy combined with this retractor provided additional help in complete removal of hematoma in organized\/solid clots, septa, bridging vessels, and rapid expansion of brain in 83, 23, 21, and 24 patients, respectively (n = 151, 44%). Although there were three deaths (due to poor preoperative status), and two recurrences, there were no retractor-induced complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The novel brain retractor assists endoscope in proper visualization of complete hematoma cavity by gentle and dynamic brain retraction, helps in thorough irrigation of hematoma cavity, protects the brain, and prevents lens soiling.
