Use of TachoSil for durotomy repair in spine surgery: a single-center retrospective review
This study is a brief examination of the demographic characteristics, surgical variables, and outcomes of durotomy repair in spine surgery with TachoSil and provides encouraging results for the continued use of the material in this context. This study provides the impetus for examination of TachoSil in larger, multi-institutional studies to establish it as a standard of care in spinal dural repair.
