Handgrip-detachable soft tissue retractor for microsurgery: technical note

abstract：:In 1982, we developed a new coma scale, the Glasgow-Liège scale, which combines the quantified analysis of five brain stem reflexes with the Glasgow methodology. The present study was undertaken to determine to what extent agreement exists among different raters assessing brain stem reflexes (Parameter R) and to compa...
