During certain microneurosurgical procedures, the illumination provided by current coaxial microscope light sources is suboptimal. One potential solution is the surgical light blade (SLB), a malleable retractor incorporating a flat fiberoptic bundle along its surface. The SLB provides intense illumination within the surgical field without decreasing the amount of limited operating space. A prototype of the SLB was tested in six patients. Results suggest that with further development the SLB could become useful for intracranial microneurosurgery.
在某些显微神经外科手术过程中，当前同轴显微镜光源所提供的照明效果并不理想。一种潜在的解决方案是手术光刀（SLB），它是一种可塑形牵开器，其表面带有扁平光纤束。手术光刀可在手术区域内提供强烈照明，同时不会减少有限的操作空间。该手术光刀的一个原型在六名患者身上进行了测试。结果表明，经过进一步改进，手术光刀可能会在颅内显微神经外科手术中发挥作用。
