Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm having surgery Wednesday......my surgeon is using a new synthetic patch. He stated that he would have to take tissue from my hip if I used my own tissue for the dura..... I did not want a bovine or cadavier patch..... What do you think? Charmaine Re: Re: duraplasty I too received the bovine patch and titanium plate July 2002. Other than having cravings for yogurt, ice cream, milk, and cheese, I have not had any complications from them. I do not have a shunt.
