  • CLINICAL APPLICATION OF CYANOACRYLATES FOR PREVENTION OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LEAKAGE

    Objective To explore the effectiveness of cyanoacrylates (Fuaile) for spinal subdural benign tumorectomy to prevent the cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Methods Between January 2009 and March 2013, 35 patients underwent spinal subdural benign tumorectomy. Of 35 patients, Fuaile and gelatin sponge were used after stitch suture for a watertight closure of the dura in 19 cases (trial group), and only gelatin sponge was used after stitch suture in 16 cases (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, types of tumors, and sites of tumors between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The ratio of watertight closure, incision healing, and relative complications were compared between 2 groups. Results All patients in 2 groups achieved watertight closure of the dura intraoperatively. There was no significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of dura incision, hospitalization time, total drainage volume, and drainage time between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Primary incision healing was obtained; no delayed healing, infection, or nerve compression occurred in all patients. At last follow-up, the ratios of successful watertight closure of trial and control groups were 89.5% (17/19) and 50.0% (8/16) respectively, showing significant difference (P=0.02). No delayed cerebrospinal fluid leakage or incision infection was found at 1 and 3 months after operation. Conclusion The application of cyanoacrylates for watertight closure of dura in spinal subdural benign tumorectomy is safe and effective.
