The use of the Mayfield headrest to perform retinal surgery in the prone position.

Schwartz PL, Fastenberg DW, Wollman SB.

A Mayfield neurosurgical headrest positioned at the end of a standard operating room table may be utilized to achieve the prone positioning necessary to perform certain types of ophthalmic procedures, such as the unfolding of the inverted flap of a giant retinal break. We describe the technique of employing this readily available headrest.
