Figure 2

The procedure of opening a brain fissure. (a) A coronal section of a brain is shown. Connective tissues are cut to release restrictions. (b) A spatula is inserted into the Sylvian brain fissure. In this situation, the spatula contacts with complex inner structures of the fissure. (c) Deformation of the brain due to exclusion by the spatulas. Opening the brain fissure allows an operator to access hided parts of the brain and the depths.
