In neurosurgery, "Mayfield" typically refers to the Mayfield head holder, a device used to securely hold and position a patient's head during surgery. It consists of a skull clamp with pins that attach to the patient's skull and a supporting frame mounted on the operating table. This device helps stabilize the head, allowing for precise surgical procedures on the brain or spine while minimizing movement and ensuring patient safety.
