Urinary tract surgical retractors designed to temporarily separate and hold back the urethra, exposing and providing access to other tissues, the urinary tract, or associated structures. These retractors are usually handheld manual instruments available in a variety of shapes and sizes according to the structure or organ to be exposed; some instruments include fiber optics to provide illumination to the surgical area. Dedicated retractors for the anterior and posterior segments of the urethra are also available.
