Objective:
To select high-quality and cost-effective dural (spinal) membrane repair materials, in order to reduce the cost of consumables procurement, save medical insurance funds, and optimize hospital operation and management.
Methods:
Taking the BS06B disease group (spinal cord and spinal canal surgery without extremely severe or severe complications and comorbidities, mainly diagnosed as congenital tethered cord syndrome) as an example, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the relevant data of surgical treatment for congenital tethered cord syndrome conducted in our hospital from January 2021 to June 2023. Safety and efficacy indicators in clinical application (incidence of postoperative epidural hemorrhage, incidence of postoperative purulent cerebrospinal meningitis, incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, surgical duration, and postoperative hospital stay) were compared.
Results:
There was no difference in safety and effectiveness between different brands of dura mater repair materials.
Conclusion:
For the repair of small incisions in dura mater surgery, high-quality and cost-effective dura mater repair materials can be selected to reduce hospital costs and control expenses for the disease group.
