Abstract

AIM: To investigate comparative efficacy of a novel absorbable adhesive membrane (TissuePatchDural (TM) "TPD") and a fibrin glue (Tisseel "T") in reducing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks after posterior fossa and spinal procedures, and also to identify potential risk factors for CSF leakage.
