Persistence of Bioglue in spinal dural repair.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioglue is an organic surgical adhesive commonly used in vascular and cardiopulmonary repair surgery. It has been used in neurosurgical procedures to minimise the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak. We report a case which demonstrates persistence of Bioglue at the repair site two years after its successful use in aiding dural closure after a lumbar decompressive procedure.

متن کاملPosterior Trans-Dural Repair of Iatrogenic Spinal Cord Herniation after Resection of Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament.
Iatrogenic spinal cord herniation is a rare complication following spinal surgery. We introduce a posterior trans-dural repair technique used in a case of thoracic spinal cord herniation through a ventral dural defect following resection of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the cervicothoracic spine. A 51-year-old female was suffering from paraplegia after laminectom...
متن کاملBioglue-Coated Teflon Sling Technique in Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm Involving the Vertebral Artery
OBJECTIVE Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) involving the vertebral artery (VA) can be technically challenging. We investigated the therapeutic effects of a bioglue-coated Teflon sling technique on the VA during MVD in 42 cases. METHODS A bioglue-coated Teflon sling was crafted by the surgeon and applied to patients in whom neurovascular compression was caused by th...
