A Registry Study to Assess SYNTHECELTM Dura Repair

The purpose of this study is to assess how safe synthecel dura repair is and how well it performs in participants undergoing cranial surgery requiring dura repair (a procedure to close and protect the outer covering of the brain) in a regular, everyday healthcare environment.

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Size of dura defect will be reported.

  14. Surgical Approach

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Surgical approach used will be reported.

  15. Procedure Time

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Procedure time is defined as first incision to final closure.

  16. Amount of Blood Loss

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Amount of blood loss during craniotomy or craniectomy procedure will be reported.

  17. Device Details

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Device information will be reported.

  18. Device Location

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Device location will be reported.

  19. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF),Drainage Device Use

    Time frame: At discharge (within 1 to 14 days following the index procedure)

    Neurological status at the time of discharge will be reported. Neurological assessment will be reported in a qualitative manner and all assessments will be collected and reported by the hospital site based on the standard clinical practice for the respective institution. Presence of abnormal neurological findings (Yes/No) as determined by neurological assessment will be recorded.

  23. Imaging Assessment at Discharge

    Time frame: At discharge (within 1 to 14 days following the index procedure)

    Imaging assessment (MRI or CT scan) will be reported at the time of discharge.

  24. Overall Length of Hospital Stay

    Time frame: At discharge (within 1 to 14 days following the index procedure)

    Participant's overall length of hospital stay will be reported.

  25. Number of Days Since Craniectomy

    Time frame: At discharge (within 1 to 14 days following the index procedure)

    Number of Days since craniectomy will be reported.
