Abstract

In thyroid and parathyroid surgical procedures, good visibility of the thyroid gland is essential. This is traditionally achieved by means of traction sutures of the dermo-plastysmal flaps to the drapes of the operative field, producing tension and even damage to the skin. The Alexis® retractor ring improves exposure and facilitates stable access to the thyroid, protecting the skin from injury during the intervention.

Resumen

En los procedimientos quirúrgicos de tiroides y paratiroides es indispensable una buena exposición de la glándula tiroidea, lo cual se realiza habitualmente mediante suturas de tracción de los colgajos dermoplatismales a los paños del campo operatorio, lo que produce tensión e incluso daños en la piel. El anillo retractor Alexis® mejora la exposición y facilita el acceso a la celda tiroidea de forma estable, protegiendo la piel de lesiones durante la intervención.
