PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Intra-operative

Population: The primary analysis for the primary efficacy endpoint was performed using a two-sided Fisher's Exact Test to test for a difference in the true success rates in obtaining a watertight closure between treatments.

Percent(%) success in obtaining a watertight closure following assigned treatment (Spinal Sealant or Control) where success is defined as: A watertight closure of the dural repair intraoperatively after study treatment, confirmed by Valsalva maneuver at 20-25 cm H2O for 5-10 seconds.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 90 Days

Population: Fisher's Exact Test was used to test for a difference in the proportions of subjects with CSF leaks between the two treatments. Confidence intervals were produced based on the observed percentage and also on the percentage estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Percentage of participants with CSF leaks within 90 days post-operatively as determined from clinical diagnosis by one of the following methods: * CSF leak or pseudomeningocele related surgical intervention (i.e., breaking skin) within 90 days post-procedure; or * CSF leak confirmation by diagnostic testing within 90 days post-procedure; or * CSF leak confirmation by clinical evaluation within 90 days post-procedure

Timeframe: 90 Days

Population: Fisher's Exact Test was used to test for a difference in the proportions of subjects with SSIs between the two treatments. Confidence intervals were produced based on the observed percentage and also on the percentage estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

•Percentage of participants who incur an SSI within 90 days post-procedure determined by clinical diagnosis SSIs were diagnosed and classified in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) criteria for evaluation and diagnosis of nosocomial surgical site infections and were classified as one of the following (Superficial, Deep or Organ/Space).
