Abstract

Dura Mater - injuries Dura Mater - surgery Fibrin Tissue Adhesive - administration & dosage Humans Periosteum - surgery Surgical Flaps - methods
A technique for skull base dural defect repair is presented, using two layers of periosteum and biological (Tisseel glue), one on either side of the defect. The method is reliable and relatively simple, and was used to repair a recurrent skull base encephalocoele with great success. The method has application in the reconstruction of any dural defect, whether congenital, traumatic or surgical.
