Multicenter Study Clinical TrialSafety and efficacy of a novel polyethylene glycol hydrogel sealant for watertight dural repair.
The authors prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel sealant in patients undergoing elective cranial surgery with documented cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after sutured dural repair. ⋯ The PEG hydrogel sealant provides a safe and effective watertight closure when used as an adjunct to sutured dural repair during cranial surgery.
