pubmed:abstractText |
Application of sutures between expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) dural substitutes and the dura mater is often frustrating in posterior fossa surgery because of the difficulty in holding the elastic graft in a deep and narrow field. To resolve this problem, we have developed a boat-shaped graft made from a triangular ePTFE sheet by pinching each angle using a suture. Formation of standing edges of the sheet facilitates holding of the flaps for secure and more rapid suturing than the conventional approach using a flat sheet.
