Laparoscopic Repositioning of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Due to Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst: A Case Series in Adolescents
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt remains one of the most common surgical forms of treatment for hydrocephalus. Many patients will eventually require a shunt revision for malfunction and recurrent hydrocephalus. For abdominal complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunts, laparoscopic techniques have been reported to be successful for shunt repositioning. We describe our recent experience at one institution in a series… Continue Reading
