Summary

The purpose of this study is to utilize a sensor incorporated into a brain retractor blade to monitor electrical activity and pressure applied to the brain during retraction required for the selected skull base operations. The overall goal of the study is to develop a protocol and guidelines to prevent the development of brain retraction injury during neurosurgical procedures requiring significant retraction.
