Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of re-operation because of Cerebrospinal Fluid leakage | until discharge (approximately 1 week) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of re-operation because of Cerebrospinal Fluid leakage | until follow-up (4 ± 2 months) | — |
| Incidence of post operative complications | until discharge (approximately 1 week, 4±2 months) | Cerebrospinal Fluid leakage, pseudomeningocele, fistulae, infection, meningitis and others |
| Incidence of cerebral reactions edema, soft tissue swelling, Cerebrospinal Fluid leakage | until discharge (approximately 1 week, 4±2 months) | detected during routine post operative MRI / CT examinations |
| Intraoperative handling of the device | Intraoperative | Intraoperative handling of the device using a questionnaire containing different dimension and a 5 point (1 = excellent, 5 = unacceptable) assessment level (Likert Scale). The following dimensions are assessed: * Ease of cutting * Needle penetration * Adaptation to the tissue * Suture retention strength * Onlay effect * Quality of sealing * Thickness * Tensile strength * Overall satisfaction |
