Description
Animal-derived patches used to close the skull lining after major brain surgery are weighed by Levent Tanrikulu and co-authors in a 2026 study. The surgery removes part of the skull to relieve dangerous pressure after stroke, bleeding, or injury. Two hundred fifty-eight patients treated from 2015 to 2024 were reviewed.
About four in five got the animal-derived patch to widen the lining, while the rest did not. Surgical side effects after the operation are compared between the groups. Full clinical and scan data were on hand for every patient. The patch question is debated among neurosurgeons, so real-world complication counts help teams choose closure methods with eyes open.
