Neurosurgery, 10/23/09
Litvack ZN et al. – Bilayer collagen sponges are associated with a reduction in postoperative CSF leak, notably in posterior fossa surgery. The need for additional non–native materials is predictive of postoperative CSF leak, along with location and type of procedure. Intrinsic patient characteristics (e.g., age, diabetes, smoking) do not seem to affect the efficacy of collagen sponge dural grafts.
