Abstract
Numerous natural and synthetic substitutes have been proposed for dural grafting. Autografts, allografts, xenografts and nonabsorbable or absorbable polymer sheets have been used in experimental models and clinical practice. This article reviews the literature regarding the features, advantages, and related complications of different dural substitutes.
