Dural repair using porcine ADM: two cases and a literature review.
The use of acellular dermal matrices (ADM) for dural repair is very scantily described in the literature. We report two cases of dural repair using porcine ADM and a literature review. ADM and especially StratticeTMpliable may be a useful alternative to other dural substitutes. Further evaluation would be favorable.
