Zusammenfassung:Since the new Neuroplast ® biomaterial is now commonly used in several domains of restorative and curative surgery, its preliminary evaluation as a dura mater substitute in the rabbit was performed and is described herein. Whereas the importance of prosthesis thickness was implicated and solved (0.2 rather than 1.0mm), both macroscopic examination and histological studies revealed for the neotissue an effective patency, a good continuity and especially no or almost no adherence at all. As Neuroplast ® is now available for use everywhere in humans, this material is being developed in several fields of neurosurgery.
