Background: Hemorrhages, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula and infections are the most challenging postoperative complications in Neurosurgery. In this study, we report our preliminary results using a fully autologous fibrin sealant agent, the Vivostat(®) system, in achieving hemostasis and CSF leakage repair during cranio-cerebral procedures.
Methods: From January 2012 to March 2014, 77 patients were studied prospectively and data were collected and analyzed.
Peculiarities of clinical course and approaches to surgical treatment were studied in patients, suffering isolated cranio-cerebral trauma (CCT); new approaches were elaborated, permitting to improve outcome of epidural hematoma (EG) in surgical treatment of the patients. For isolated CCT 188 patients there were operated on, EG was revealed in 83 (44.1%) of them.
