title: Dura mater (Lyodura) in reconstruction of the abdominal and chest wall defects after radical excision of soft tissue neoplasms--case reports.

Based on intraoperative findings and early results it is suggested that dura mater (Lyodura) is of great value for the repair of full-thickness integument defects.
