Microsurgical Repair of Ventral Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: Efficacy and Safety of Patch-Sealing Versus Suturing
Microsurgical suturing and patch-sealing of ventral dural leaks in patients with SIH are equally effective. Sealing alone is a significantly faster technique, requiring less spinal cord manipulation and may therefore minimize the risk of surgical complications.
