Developing Light-Activated Tissue Adhesive Patch for Rapid, Watertight Neurosurgical Sealing
Durotomy, a tear in the dura mater, is a common complication in neurosurgical procedures. The dura mater is a tough protective membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, safeguarding the central nervous system. When this membrane is damaged, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can leak, leading to com...
