Object The repair of dural defects is controversial in contemporary neurosurgery. To date,
collagen-based products remain a continued area of interest in the development of dural …

Object The use of dural grafts is frequently unavoidable when tension-free dural closure
cannot be achieved following neurosurgical procedures or trauma. Biodegradable collagen …

OBJECTIVES: Dural replacement materials and other measures can provide an effective
barrier between the subarachnoid compartment and the extradural space when a watertight …

Object Complete dural closure is not always possible following posterior fossa surgery, often
requiring a graft to secure complete closure. The authors report their experience of using a …

Background Semisynthetic collagen matrices are promising duraplasty grafts with low risk of
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas, good tissue integration and minor foreign body reaction …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, neuroradiological, and
neuropathological outcomes of patients treated with equine collagen foil (TissuDura®) as a …

Objective Duraplasty, a common neurosurgical intervention, involves synthetic or biological
graft placement to ensure dural closure. The objective of this study is to advance our …

OBJECTIVE: Primary closure of the dura remains difficult in many neurosurgical cases. One
option for dural grafting is the collagen sponge, which is available in multiple forms, namely …

OBJECTIVE: A watertight and meticulous dural closure is an essential step after intradural
neurosurgical procedures. When such a task cannot be performed, dural replacement …

BACKGROUND: After intradural cranial surgery, a dural substitute is often required for dural
closure. Although preferred, limitations of autograft include local availability and additional …
