Multilayer dural repair using absorbable artificial dura in the posterior fossa: A case report on the “sandwich technique”
The Sandwich Technique provides a simple, reproducible option for dural repair in the posterior fossa when suturing is technically difficult. This multilayer approach, which integrates synthetic and autologous materials, allows tension-free watertight closure and may represent a valuable adjunct in neurosurgical dural reconstruction.
