Background: Various materials have been proposed to obliterate dead spaces and to
reconstruct dural defects during a neurosurgical approach. This study describes our …

The biocompatibility, biodegradation, feasibility, and efficacy of medical devices like dural
sealants and substitutes are often evaluated in various animal models. However, none of …

Background context Incidental durotomy occurs in 1% to 17% of lumbar spine surgery. This
is treated with watertight suture repair, often combined with a sealant. Purpose To compare …

Background: Endoscopic transnasal approaches to the skull base have revolutionized the
treatment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulae, making repair less invasive and more …

Objectives We analyzed our results using Hemopatch® as a new dural sealant after
durotomy in cranial and spinal neurosurgical procedures. Patients and methods In our …

Purpose In this work, we propose an in situ precise electrospinning of medical glue fibers
onto dural wound for improving sealing capability, avoiding tissue adhesion, and saving …

OBJECTIVES: Fibrin glue is used in addition to grafts and flaps to repair cerebrospinal (CSF)
leaks. We designed a porcine model to test the hypothesis that fibrin glue increases …

Objective Dural closure is one of the most critical steps in neurosurgical procedures as it
prevents many common postoperative complications. Methods of dural closure include the …

OBJECTIVE The authors sought to explore the safety and efficacy of an autologous nuchal
ligament for dural repair in pediatric patients undergoing tumor resection through a …

BACKGROUND: Watertight repair of the dura is imperative after neurosurgical procedures
involving the brain or spinal cord because inadequately treated leakage of cerebrospinal …
