Filter by:As limited data is available locally and internationally regarding early Lumbar drain and its effect on duration of CSF leak we have decided to compare it conservative treatment. By providing CSF an alternative route for drainage, the fistula site will remain dry. Leakage site won't be facing CSF pressure, and this will promote early healing of the wound.
This prospective, multi-center, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lyoplant Onlay in repairing cerebral dura mater. DURAFORM was regarded as the control group. a total of 80 patients were randomized into experimental and control group (1:1).Data were collected on complications resulting in CSF leaks, surgical site infections, instrument performance parameterized other neurological complications within 30 days. Surgeons also provided data on the ease of use of the dural sealing techniques, as well as preparation and application times. The above-mentioned date were used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lyoplant Onlay .
The objective of the study is to clinically assess the safety and effectiveness of LIQOSEAL® as a means of reducing intra- as well as post-operative CSF leakage in patients undergoing elective cranial intradural surgery with a dural closure procedure to show noninferiority compared to a control group.
Patients with persistent symptoms of cerebrospinal-fluid leakage (positional headache, photophobia, nausea and vomiting, clear drainage from the wound, fluctuant subcutaneous wound) after a primary repair should be considered for revision surgery to avoid potentially serious complications including CSF (cerebro spinal fluid) fistula formation. Prolonged bed rest immediatel after reapir of an ID () incidental durotomy) is widely accepted and frequently applied. current literature provides supporting retrospective evidence that prolonged bed rest may not be required after watertight closure of dural tears. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the impact of prolonged bed rest on the need for early reoperation following primary repair of an ID after lumbar spinal surgery. The primary endpoint of this study is the difference in reoperation rate between the two study groups to further investigate if either one or the other postoperative mobilisation regimen provides a significant benefit in terms of persistent dural leakage.
