PEG hydrogel sealant versus fibrin glue in posterior fossa surgery: an economic comparison across five European countries

Conclusion: PEG hydrogels may be a cost-effective alternative to fibrin glue in PCF surgery. The model predicted that cost savings would be mainly driven by a reduction in the incidence of postoperative CSF leaks, resulting in reduced reliance on lumbar drains, reparative surgery and shortened hospital stays.PMID:38389409 | DOI:10.57264/cer-2023-0047
