German term or phrase: Folie
Die nahezu erhärtete Plastik wird dann herausgenommen, an den Rändern korrigiert und mit Perforationen versehen, durch die epidurale Flüssigkeit abfließen und später Bindegewebe einsprießen kann. Nach Entfernung von Watte bzw. Zellstoff und Folie wird die Plastik durch nichtresorbierbares Nahtmaterial an drei bis vier Stellen fixiert.
