In the field of neurosurgery, often the dura mater cannot be sutured, and consequently, it
requires a duraplasty procedure using a dural fascial graft. Since 1890, various materials …

Introduction A dura mater substitute in decompressive craniectomies must protect the brain
while providing a dissection plane between the cortex and myocutaneous layer. The human …

Objectives Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is an undesirable complication of skull base
surgery. We used dried human amniotic membrane (AM) as a patch graft for dural repair to …

Purpose: In many brain surgeries, dura cannot be primarily repaired and it is necessary to
use a graft. Appropriate repair of dura plays a major role in preventing CSF leakage and …

Background: In cranial neurosurgery, primary watertight dural closure is the standard
method of post-craniotomy dural repair. However, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks …

Background: Several studies have highlighted the use of human amniotic membrane (HAM)
in neurosurgical procedures as an effective dural substitute. HAM has inherent antifibrotic …

Purpose The objective of this study was to characterize and compare the morphological
characteristics of the dura mater, the pericranium, and the temporal fascia to ascertain the …

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 …

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To investigate the suitability of collagen matrix as a dural graft in
the repair of experimental posterior fossa dura mater defects. METHODS: Thirty New …

Objective Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a common complication in the
practice of neurosurgery, and various surgical techniques were described to overcome and …
