In 30% of craniofacial surgeries, neurosurgeons need to repair the dura mater, and dura repair materials play an important role in maintaining the integrity and protection of brain tissue. In this paper, the concept of dura mater was introduced, the advantages and disadvantages of autologous tissues, allogeneic tissues, tissues of heterologous origin and synthetic materials used for dura mater repair were elaborated, the preparation methods of dura mater repair materials were summarized, and finally, the future development direction of artificial dura mater repair materials was looked forward to, and it was pointed out that melt electrostatically spun fiber membrane materials have great application in the field of dura mater repair.
