Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to clinically assess the safety and effectiveness of LIQOSEAL® as a means of reducing intra- as well as post-operative CSF leakage in patients undergoing elective cranial intradural surgery with a dural closure procedure to show noninferiority compared to a control group.

- Subjects who are ≥ 18 years old.
- Subjects who are able to comply with the follow-up or other study requirements.
- Subjects wo are planned for elective surgery including a trepanation to reach the subdural infratentorial space (with lower limit of incision defined as the lower edge of C2) in whom a dural incision will be closed.
- Female subjects of child bearing potential must agree to use a form of contraception from the time of signing the informed consent form through 90 days post-surgery.
- intra-operative
- Subjects with surgical wound classification Class I/Clean.
- Subjects with minimally 5 mm of dural space surrounding dural opening.
You may not qualify if:
- pre-operative
- Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Subjects with an assumed impaired coagulation due to medication or otherwise.
- Subjects suspected of an infection requiring antibiotics.
- Subjects with any type of dural diseases in planned dural closure area.
- Subjects requiring re-opening of planned surgical area within 90 days after surgery.
- Subjects with a known allergy to any of the components (Lactide-Caprolactone co-polyester; Butanediol-BDI co-polyurethane; Polyethylene glycol Succinimidyl Gluterate; Disodium hydrogen phosphate or D\&C Green No 6) of LIQOSEAL®.
- Subjects who previously received a LIQOSEAL®.
- Subjects who previously participated in this study or any investigational drug or device study within 30 days of screening.
- Subjects with a presence of hydrocephalus.
- Subjects with contra-indication to MRI \[cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator, severe claustrophobia, injured by a metallic object that was not removed, cochlear (ear) implants, metallic implants \[e.g. knee replacement\].
- intra-operative
- Subjects in whom elevation of PEEP has a potential detrimental effect.
- Subjects who will require a CSF drain, electrodes or other devices passing the dural layer or extra to intracranial bypass surgery.
- Subjects who have primary closure of the dura mater with synthetic, nonautologous or autologous material other than galea.
