Brain retraction is crucial for adequate exposure during many intracranial procedures. It facilitates the access to the area of interest inside the brain and gives the surgeon the ability to create a corridor to visualize the deeply seated lesions. Retraction-related injury is a well-known complication. A minimally invasive retraction system has been invented and modified to improve the downside of retraction and overcome the complications. The syringe brain port system is a transtubular system composed of simple tools that are available in all medical facilities. It can help the neurosurgeons to achieve brain retraction in a safe, simple, and cost-effective technique. We are presenting a video of how to make this system. Also, we are demonstrating an intraoperative application of this system in a case of a 36-year-old male with deep-seated recurrent right frontal glioblastoma multiforme grade IV.
