Dural Reconstruction in Meningioma Surgery
After many cranial and spinal neurosurgical removal of meningiomas, reconstruction of the dura mater is needed. The dura has to be meticulously closed following craniotomy (Protasoni et al., 2011), but primary dural closure with sutures alone can be difficult in a loss of native dural tissue (i.e., convexity meningiomas), to enlarge the dural compartment (i.e.,inoperable intramedullary tumors) and when the closure is difficult and not sufficiently watertight because dura mater edges have shrunken and they cannot be sutured directly)
