Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
DuraSeal Arm
Prospective enrollment of subjects who have received DuraSeal Exact Spinal Sealant System for treatment of an intentional or incidental dural tear during spine surgery.
 Device: DuraSeal Exact Spine Sealant System
DuraSeal Exact Spine Sealant System will be administered to those eligible patients, to treat a dural opening.
Control Arm
Subjects who have undergone a spinal procedure where techniques other than DuraSeal were administered for the treatment of either an intentional or incidental opening of the dura may be enrolled either prospectively or retrospectively (via medical record screening)
 Other: Control
Devices or drugs used to seal the dura (other than DuraSeal)

Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
DuraSeal group will be patients that undergo a spinal procedure where a dural opening occurrs and is treated with DuraSeal Exact Spine Sealant System. Control group will be patients that have undergone a spinal procedure where a dural opening occurred and was treated with anything other than DuraSeal Sealant (Spine or Dural). These subjects may be enrolled retrospectively (through a chart review of past cases) or prospectively.
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is 18 years of age or older

  • Subject had a spinal procedure where a dural opening (either intentional or incidental) occurred and was treated with either:

    • DuraSeal™ Exact Spine Sealant (DuraSeal™ Sealant group ONLY) OR
    • Any other method of sealing the dura with the exception of DuraSeal™ Sealant -either spinal or cranial. (Control group ONLY)

  • Subject, or authorized representative, has been informed of the nature of the study and has provided written informed consent approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the respective clinical site prior to the collection of study data.

    • Prospective subjects: Consent must be obtained within 24 hours of surgery stop time.
    • Retrospective subjects (Control group specific): IRB approval may be granted to individual sites to waive requirement for informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The investigator determines that the subject will not be able to comply with the required follow-up visits (not required if subject is being enrolled retrospectively- control group ONLY)
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding females (as documented in the medical records; no testing beyond the site's standard of care is required)
