Dural and cranial reconstruction techniques in retrosigmoid craniotomy: key factors associated with CSF leaks in 225 patients
HydroSet in combination with bone reconstruction and heterologous patches demonstrated superior outcomes in reducing CSF leaks. TachoSil did not significantly affect leakage rates, with less definite results. Refining surgical techniques and selecting appropriate materials for dural and bone reconstruction may help reduce complications and improve patient outcomes in CPA tumor surgeries using the retrosigmoid approach.
