A new table-fixed soft tissue retractor for the anterior cervical spinal surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Percutaneous radiofrequency trigeminal rhizotomy (RF-TR) is a well-established treatment for patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia (TN) as a primary modality or for those refractory to medical treatment. However, few existing studies have identified intraoperative parameter or navigation technique tha...
