Abstract

Object. There are various schools of thought when it comes to dural reconstruction following meningioma surgery, which are largely based on the personal experience of the individual surgeons. The authors' aim in this study was to review different dural reconstruction techniques, with an emphasis on their experience with the synthetic onlay dural graft technique.
