| Abstract | PURPOSE: 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. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 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. RESULTS: 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 after 1 year. No adherences between brain and neodura were detected, and histopathological investigations demonstrated dural regeneration. CONCLUSIONS: Following dural reconstructions with TissuDura without surgical sutures, no local toxicity or complications were observed for up to 1 year. TissuDura demonstrated elasticity, non-reactivity, and good adaptability. The overlay technique using fibrin glue was simple and fast. Future studies and longer follow-up are needed to confirm the efficacy of TissuDura. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
