A new instrument, the aqua-stream and aspirator (AS & A) is useful and safe for microscopical neurosurgery. The apparatus is simple and small. The handpiece is small and light as well as being easy to manipulate. Sterilization is easy and safe. Both streaming and aspirating tubes of AS & A are thin, so that operative field is not obstructed by the operative microscope. The operative field is kept dry and clean by means of washing the work of AS & A. It is economical, because less gas and saline solution than usual are needed during the usual craniotomy (a one liter soft bottle). It is superior to laser and CUSA for the removal of deeply seated soft tumors.
一种新型器械——水流吸引器（AS&A），对于显微神经外科手术来说既实用又安全。该器械简单小巧。其手持件小巧轻便，易于操作。消毒简便且安全。AS&A的冲洗管和吸引管都很细，因此手术显微镜不会遮挡手术视野。通过使用AS&A进行冲洗，手术视野可保持干燥清洁。它很经济，因为在常规开颅手术（一个一升的软瓶）中所需的气体和盐溶液比平常少。在切除深部软肿瘤方面，它比激光和超声吸引器（CUSA）更具优势。
