We present 37 cases in which fascia lata was used for dural patching when there was
inadequate regional tissue, such as pericranium or temporalis fascia to repair the dural …

Background Dural repair during skull base approaches remains challenging, especially in
the presence of significant defects. The autologous fat has become an alternative to various …

Objective Duraplasty can be performed both by means of autologous tissues (such as galea-
pericranium, temporal muscle, fascia lata) or by commercially available dural patches …

Background. CSF leakage is a common complication of neurosurgical procedures, with
defective dural suture thought to be the most frequent cause. We report our experience with …

OBJECTIVE: As a late complication of radiation therapy and a transoral approach, a

BACKGROUND: In frontotemporal decompressive craniectomy and subsequent
cranioplasty, temporal muscle damage is frequently observed as a result of surgical …

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 …
