Current possibilities of dural reconstruction in the neurosurgery

Abstract

An integral part of intracranial neurosurgery is the opening of the subdural space and its subsequent closure or reconstruction after the surgery.
The optimal goal is a primary watertight suture, although that is often unfeasible for various reasons. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage in postoperative care is an undesirable and potentially dangerous complication of most of the surgical interventions. The aim of this article is to present the current possibilities of dural reconstruction in neurosurgery.
