VP Shunt Surgery is the primary, life-saving treatment for Hydrocephalus (water on the brain), a condition that affects both newborns with congenital defects and adults (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - NPH). Hydrocephalus occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up inside the brain’s ventricles, creating severe pressure that causes dangerously enlarged heads in infants, and dementia-like memory loss, incontinence, and walking difficulties in adults. The VP Shunt acts as an internal plumbing system; it continuously diverts the excess fluid away from the brain to the abdominal cavity, where it is harmlessly absorbed by the body, instantly relieving brain pressure and reversing debilitating symptoms.

Детали процедуры

Under general anesthesia, the neurosurgeon makes a small incision on the scalp and drills a tiny hole in the skull. A thin, flexible silicone catheter is passed through the brain tissue into the swollen fluid ventricle. This catheter is connected to a one-way programmable pressure valve situated just beneath the skin behind the ear. The second half of the tubing is tunneled completely under the skin down the neck and chest, terminating in the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity. The incisions are then stitched closed.
