How to choose a neurosurgery instrument set
- Brain or spine. Cranial sets carry saws, bone forceps, dural scissors and brain spatulas; the spinal sets carry rongeurs, Kerrison punches and curettes for decompression.
- Open or microsurgical. The Rhoton set holds the fine neurosurgical instruments used under the microscope; it adds to a cranial set rather than replacing it.

What are neurosurgery sets used for?
- Craniotomy: opening the scalp, cutting and lifting the bone flap, opening the dura, and closing the layers.
- Brain tumor and vascular surgery: retracting the brain with spatulas, removing and handling tissue, and microdissection around aneurysms and tumors such as acoustic neuromas.
- Spinal decompression: laminectomy, laminotomy and foraminotomy, removing bone and ligament that press on the spinal cord or nerve roots, and discectomy.
