A surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct the dura mater, the tough outermost membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
From 'dura' (the membrane) and '-plasty' (Greek 'plassein' meaning 'to shape or mold'). The term combines anatomical and surgical terminology.
Brain surgeons use duraplasty to patch the delicate membrane protecting your brain—it's like fixing the most important roof in your body!
