Summary

This trial tests whether a special medical adhesive can create a watertight seal over the spinal lining after surgery, preventing cerebrospinal fluid leaks. About 141 adults undergoing spinal surgery with confirmed fluid leakage will be randomly assigned to receive either the adhesive or standard reinforcement. The main goal is to see if the adhesive successfully stops the leak during surgery, with follow-up checks for leaks and side effects over 90 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A medical adhesive applied over the sutured spinal lining to create a watertight seal and prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
What this could lead to
If effective, this adhesive could reduce the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leaks after spinal surgery, potentially shortening hospital stays and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
The trial is still in Phase 3 and results are not yet known. The adhesive may not seal as well as standard methods, and there could be risks like allergic reactions or infection.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18-75 years old, any gender. * Undergoing spinal surgery with dural incision, traumatic tear or defect requiring primary repair. * Intraoperative confirmed CSF leakage after primary dural repair via naked eye, microscopy, Valsalva maneuver or hemostatic sponge test. * Patient or legal guardian voluntarily signs written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Participated in another interventional clinical trial within 1 month before surgery. * Severe cardiac, hepatic, renal or hematological disease unable to tolerate spinal surgery. * Known hypersensitivity to any component of dural medical adhesive (polyethylenimine, 4-arm PEG succinimidyl glutarate, brilliant blue, ε-poly-L-lysine hydrochloride). * History of severe anaphylaxis or immunodeficiency disorders. * Expected survival less than 3 months post-operation. * Pregnant, lactating female or women planning pregnancy within 3 months after surgery. * Poor treatment compliance judged by investigator, unable to complete full follow-up visits. * Unable to understand trial information and cooperate with assessment. * Intraoperative dural defect that cannot receive primary sutured repair. * Class III contaminated surgical wound or active infection at operation site. * Any other condition judged inappropriate for trial participation by investigator.
