A Weitlaner retractor is a self-retaining surgical instrument with curved, sharp-tipped prongs, primarily used to hold back tissues during procedures, providing easy access to the surgical site. In contrast, a cerebellar retractor is specifically designed for neurosurgical procedures involving the brain, particularly to retract the cerebellum and other delicate structures while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. The cerebellar retractor is often more specialized for the intricate anatomy of the brain, while the Weitlaner has broader applications in various surgical settings.
