What tools do brain surgeons use?

Answer 1

Most folks hear surgeon and think of scalpels, all the old style stuff that cuts and holds open and sucks. Traditionally they have:

• Scalpels
• Needles
• Clamps
• Retractors

The modern surgeon has tools more set up for Science Fiction stories:

• Tiny robot arms that work off computer guidance to do delicate operations
• Lasers to cut and cauterize
• Endoscopic cutters that can be snaked into your body with cutters, TV cameras and laser cauterizers
• Imaging systems to follows the progress of instruments in the body after they are inserted through the navel
• Memory metal wire that adopts anew shape snaring clots after insertion into blood vessels

Bone doctors have tools like those in a carpenter's workshop. They all are air powered so no spark ignites the oxygen or anesthetic

• Saws - manual and power
• Tools that look like Black and Decker drills
• Power screwdrivers
• Chisels
• Clamps and screws

When you have surgery it is interesting to opt for a local so you can be awake during the operation to watch and ask questions about tools and techniques. Most doctors are proud of their skills and like to have an appreciative audience.
