The possibilities of the Reperen’s polymer implant use for a plasty of the base of the skull and dura mater defects are investigated. It is established, that a material fully responses to modern requirements to implants: biocompatibility, plasticity, possibility of sterilization, compatibility with the neurovisualization methods, stability to mechanical loads, a low level of thermo- and electro-conduction, an available cost, a minimum risk of infectious complications. The implants from Reperen permit to close a defect of dura mater and the base of the skull in majority of cases, encountered in neurosurgical practice.

The peculiarities of the cranioplasty operation methods and the dura mater plasty, the indications and contraindications to their use are presented. The CT-tomograms, demonstrating the proximate results, are demonstrated. The complications in postoperative period are described and analyzed. The recommendations on the inflammatory complication decrease are given.
