Which of the following is an example of self-retaining retractor?

Kocher
Rake
Towel Clamp
Weitlaner

The correct answer is: Weitlaner

A self-retaining retractor refers to a surgical instrument that can hold back tissues or organs without the need for an assistant to hold it in place manually. Option D, Weitlaner, is the correct answer because it is a type of self-retaining retractor commonly used in various surgical procedures to maintain optimal exposure of the surgical site. Option A, Kocher, is not a self-retaining retractor but rather a type of forceps used for grasping tissues or manipulating heavy structures during a surgical procedure. Option B, Rake, is not a standard term used to describe a surgical instrument and is not a known type of retractor. Option C, Towel Clamp, is also not a self-retaining retractor but is typically used to secure drapes or towels in place during a surgical procedure.
