Object. Allogenic human fascia lata used in neurosurgery as a dura mater substitute can be associated with the risk of virus and bacterium transmission and with a delay in its incorporation due to immunological and inflammatory reactions. The authors review their preliminary experience with a chemically and physically processed fascia lata graft.
1 sty 2004 · Duraplasty is required in several instances 3, 4, 14, 25, 29, 46, 30: 1) to substitute a loss of native dural tissue (i.e., in neoplastic or traumatic destruction); 2) to repair dural fistulas; 3) to enlarge the dural compartment (i.e., in Arnold-Chiari malformation or inoperable intramedullary tumors); 4) when the closure is difficult and not ...
Suboccipital decompression with duraplasty is a widely accepted method for treating patients with Chiari malformation type I. However, important details of the duraplasty technique are still controversial.
1 mar 2022 · During repair surgery, the thickness, mechanical properties, and direction of the repair should be considered in the preference of dura material for duraplasty to avoid complications. The anatomic findings of the present study can advance the current understanding of duraplasty and assist neurosurgeons.
1 gru 2020 · Brain duraplasty is a dura mater reconstruction procedure conducted following the failure of conventional primary dural closure. The surgeon selects the material to be used during the procedure from allo-, auto-, xenograft or synthesis, based on unclear criteria.
Abstract. Background: A large variety of biologic and artificial materials have been suggested as dural substitutes. However, no ideal material for dural repair in neurosurgical procedures has been identified. The authors report their experience with Tutoplast processed dura and pericardium.
