| Abstract | Between 1979 and 1985 plastic closures with lyophilised softened dura mater were performed in 45 children with the following indications: gastrochisis: 8; omphaloceles: 2; meningomyeloceles: 29; meningoceles: 3; diaphragmatic aplasia: 1; oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula: 2. Infection as well as rejection of the implants were never observed. Mortality came up to 11%. Complications and causes of death are described. A follow-up was carried out postoperatively at semi-annual intervals. The scars showed good functional and cosmetic results. |
