Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, neuroradiological, and neuropathological outcomes of patients treated with equine collagen foil (TissuDura) as a dura mater substitute during cranial and spinal neurosurgical procedures. All patients treated at the Department of Neurosurgery of the Second University of Naples with TissuDura between 2005 and 2009 were included. Dural reconstruction was performed using TissuDura, overlaid 1 cm over the dural defect with additional fixation using fibrin glue. No surgical sutures were used. Patients underwent postoperative contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance scans at 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year after surgery to detect any cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, infections, inflammations, or CSF circulation in the surgical region. Dural reconstruction was performed in 74 patients, including 50 patients with tumors, two with C2 neurinoma, two with acoustic neurinoma, six with Chiari I malformation, two with severe head injury, and 12 requiring spinal surgery. Clinical and neuroradiological findings were normal and no signs of graft rejection or CSF leaks at postoperative follow-up were observed. In two cases of atypical meningioma, re-operation of the dural reconstruction was performed af...Continue Reading
