Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid leakage rarely ceases spontaneously due to its watery nature and positive pressure. The following technique is employed in our clinic.
The dural defect is covered by a lyophilized dural graft (Lyodura®) with a cyanoacrylate tissue glue (Biobond®). Thelateral surface of the graft is covered adequately with Biobond and Polyandroglucuronic acid (Oxycel®) to make it water-tight. This technique has proved to be valuable in the repair of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
