Underlay hourglass-shaped autologous pericranium duraplasty in "key-hole" retrosigmoid approach surgery: Technical report.

CONCLUSIONS: In our series, autologous pericranium inserted and stitched as an underlay hourglass-shaped plug, augmented with surgical patch pieces and dural sealant seemed to be safe and effective for dural repair in "key-hole" retrosigmoid approach. With this technique, we obtained low complication rate, similar to the best current results of available literature. PMID: 27069742 [PubMed]
