pubmed:abstractText |
Defects of the dura mater caused by surgical intervention are often reconstructed using artificial substitutes such as polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (Gore-Tex in commercial name). In cases where secondary infection develops after the initial operation, the artificial substitute used in the primary surgery needs to be removed, and the cranial defect should be covered with tissues abundant in blood supply. The present study discusses the necessity of secondary reconstruction of the dural defect in the recovery operation.
