We present a case report of a three-year old patient diagnosed with retinoblastoma in her left eye. The course of the disease made enucleation of the latter eye and a prosthesis implant necessary. Two years after surgery, partial prosthesis extrusion occurred and a semisynthetic dura mater substitute was used as a patch graft to cover the defect. To our knowledge, semisynthetic dura mater substitutes' use in this scenario has not been previously reported.

Comparative analysis of dural substitute autologous vs. semisynthetic collagen-based dura graft.
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci

Department of Neurosurgery, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan.
Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the success rate and safety of both auto-grafts and collagen-based semi-synthetic grafts in patients with dura defects.
Patients And Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted at the neurosurgery departments of different hospitals in Peshawar and Faisalabad. Patients were divided into two groups: A (autologous graft) and B (semi-synthetic graft).

Background: Duraplasty refers to the neurosurgical process of reconstructing dural defect. Variety of materials is used for such reconstruction, including natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic materials. Although synthetic materials are readily available and easy to apply, these are associated with foreign body reaction which may lead to serious consequences in some cases.

From the Division of Plastic Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
Background: Properly designed biodegradable scaffolds facilitate repair or regeneration of stromal tissues. Over the past 50 years, a variety of synthetic, semisynthetic, and decellularized scaffolds have been developed that provide surgeons with tools to reconstruct a wide array of structural defects.
Methods: The authors review the literature of biological degradable scaffolds in current clinical use in the United States and highlight their design principles and products in common use.
Evaluation of efficacy and biocompatibility of a novel semisynthetic collagen matrix as a dural onlay graft in a large animal model.

Background: Semisynthetic collagen matrices are promising duraplasty grafts with low risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas, good tissue integration and minor foreign body reaction. The present study investigates the efficacy and biocompatibility of a novel semisynthetic bilayered collagen matrix (BCM, B. Braun Aesculap) as dural onlay graft for duraplasty.
