[Delayed results of using a new collagen-polyester dural prosthesis].
A new dural prosthesis was prepared by bilateral coating of polyester net with radiation-modified collagen. Prosthesis is smooth highly flexible, water resistant and 0.3 mm thick. In the Department of Neurosurgery, Warsaw Medical Academy, Poland, 11 patients had a new dural prosthesis implanted, 1 with posttraumatic CSF-leakage and 10 with intracranial neoplasms. Early observation (2 to 4 weeks) and delayed (7 to 23 months) were performed. Neither allergic nor inflammatory reactions were observed. No CSF-leakage was observed. A new Polish dural substitute seems to be better than other ones because of its similarity to natural dura mater and low price.
