  Introduction: Dural injuries are encountered generally as trauma, spinal tumor excision or postop complications. It is a major problem leads to cerebrospinal fluid leakage meningitis. The method used often in repair is applying the watertight suture to the damaged area with appropriate measures of fascia and dural grafts. The used grafts can be ranged as bovine pericardium, synthetic collagen matrices, fibrin tissue adhesive, vicryl, and polydioxanone graft. In the studies, it is observed that there is still no significant difference between grafts and fascia. Material-Methods: In our study, 60 Spraque Dawley rats whose weights are ranging from 200-250 gr were used. The solution consists of the ketamine hydrochloride (60 mg/kg) and xylazine (12 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to the subjects and the subjects were taken into anesthesia. Th.. Read More»
