AB  - ABSTRACTThe hand holding devices are generally used during the course of micro-surgical operationsin neurosurgery to prevent hand tremor. Recently we designed a new instrument forholding two arms. This instrument used for stabilization of two arms especially duringmicrosurgical operations. We used this instrument in different type of operations suchas aneurysm surgery, brain tumor surgery, hypophysis surgery, pontocerebellar tumorsurgery and posterior fossa surgery. The ability of the instrument in the preventing of armtremor, and comfort of the arm during surgery was graded as bad, good and excellent interms of the description of surgeon during microsurgical operations. This instrument wasused during 20 neurosurgical operations. The capability of the instrument during microsurgicaloperation was found as excellent in 65% of the operations. The capability wasfound as good in 35% of the operation. In conclusion; this instrument holds two armsin the same time and provide unrelated moving from each others. The capability of thisinstrument is high in the preventing of hand tremor. This instrument may be used duringmicrosurgical operations in neurosurgery.J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2011; 28:111-116
