The advancement in regenerative medicine has made it possible to offer new strategies and novel materials that have brought a revolution in the areas of drug delivery, tissue engineering, and cosmetic surgeries. The area of tissue engineering has mainly focused to develop such materials that can mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). The material used widely for this purpose as well as for scaffolds for temporary support is known as a polymer. Polymers both natural and synthetic are being used as biomaterial and it has brought about significant changes in the area of neuronal repair. This chapter discusses the potential areas in neurosurgery where the application of polymers is possible.
