Persistence of Bioglue in spinal dural repair.
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.
