Abstrakt: The prevention of fibrosis after lumbar and thoracic laminectomies by avoiding herniation of muscular tissue was studied using Wistar-EPM rats with a biological membrane made of decorticated bone of bovine material. The rats were sacrificed after eight, sixteen and twenty four weeks and the material was sent to anatomopathological study. This membrane proved to be biocompatible and its efficacy was seen by allowing formation of bone and preventing muscular tissue invasion of the epidural space and avoiding adherences.
