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.
This study is designed to evaluate Tutoplast dura and pericardium. The study population was composed of 250 consecutive patients who underwent cerebral duraplasty with these homologous materials between 1996 and 1998. The average follow-up was 5.4 years.
We have observed only four complications with uncertain relationship with the dural implant. These resulted in complete recovery.
We support the efficacy and safety of this natural dural substitute treated with Tutoplast method.
多种生物和人工材料已被提议作为硬脑膜替代物。然而,尚未找到神经外科手术中用于硬脑膜修复的理想材料。作者报告了他们使用Tutoplast处理的硬脑膜和心包的经验。
本研究旨在评估Tutoplast硬脑膜和心包。研究对象为1996年至1998年间连续250例使用这些同种材料进行硬脑膜成形术的患者。平均随访时间为5.4年。
我们仅观察到4例与硬脑膜植入物关系不确定的并发症。这些并发症均完全康复。
我们支持使用Tutoplast方法处理的这种天然硬脑膜替代物的有效性和安全性。
