BACKGROUND: The ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the gold-standard surgical technique to treat hypertensive hydrocephalus; however, it may fail in 20 to 70% of cases. The present study shows an alternative for patients with contraindications to VPS. METHODS: A case series of nine patients. The medical records of all patients under 17 years of age who underwent ventriculo-gallbladder (VGB) shunt at a pediatric hospital from January 2014 to October 2022 were reviewed...

PURPOSE: Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common causative microorganism of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections. This study aimed to compare linezolid and vancomycin treatments and to examine the effect of these antibiotics alone and combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the amount of bacterial colonies in the experimental S. epidermidis shunt infection model. METHODS: A shunt catheter was placed in the cisterna magna of 49 adult male Wistar albino rats...

Background: Data on the outcomes of laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) in patients with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are limited. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent LF at our institutions between 2014 and 2022. Then, we systematically reviewed articles in MEDILINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Results: There was no significant difference in terms of the outcomes between patients with VP shunt ( n  = 10) and those without ( n  = 96) at our institutions...

Cranioplasty (CP) after decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) is a common neurosurgical procedure with a high complication rate. The best material for the repair of large cranial defects is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate different implant materials regarding surgery related complications after CP. Type of materials include the autologous bone flap (ABF), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), calcium phosphate reinforced with titanium mesh (CaP-Ti), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and hydroxyapatite (HA)...

BACKGROUND: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) can be placed solely by a neurosurgeon often via an open-laparotomy approach, or laparoscopically as a collaborative effort between a neurosurgeon and a general surgeon. Prior studies have shown conflicting results when examining outcomes regarding infection, revision rate, hospital charges, length of stay, and mortality between the open mini-laparotomy and the laparoscopic approaches. OBJECTIVE: The current study uses the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to compare outcomes of open mini-laparotomy vs...

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) are surgical methods for treating obstructive hydrocephalus. However, there is still disagreement regarding the most effective technique, in terms of both operative success and postoperative complications. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of these two methods in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus. We performed a systematic search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases...

A reduction in fluid absorption or an obstruction of normal outflow is a common cause of hydrocephalus. It typically requires medical attention, which frequently entails the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) to lower intracranial pressure. We intend to list the few, documented examples of neurological impairments resulting from the installation of a VPS in this systematic study. Two search engines (PubMed and Cochrane) were used to conduct a systematic review from 1975 to December 12, 2021. The following search terms were employed: neurological deficits or neurological injury or palsies or thalamus or tract or longitudinal fasciculus or somatotropy or fasciculus or hearing loss or hemisensory or cortico AND ventriculoperitoneal shunt or VPS AND hydrocephalus...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is usually the primary choice for cerebrospinal fluid shunting for most neurosurgeons, while ventriculoatrial shunt (VAS) is a second-line procedure because of historical complications. Remarkably, there is no robust evidence claiming the superiority of VPS over VAS. Thus, we aimed to compare both procedures through a meta-analysis. METHODS: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, the authors systematically searched the literature for articles comparing VAS with VPS...

OBJECTIVE: Abdominal CSF pseudocysts are an uncommon but challenging complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Pseudocysts consist of a loculated intraperitoneal compartment that inadequately absorbs CSF and may be infected or sterile at diagnosis. The treatment goal is to clear infection if present, reduce inflammation, and reestablish long-term function in an absorptive (intraperitoneal) space. This aim of this paper was to study the efficacy of primary laparoscopic repositioning of the distal shunt catheter for treatment of sterile abdominal CSF pseudocysts...

OBJECTIVE: The ventriculoatrial (VA) shunt is a surgical intervention used to manage hydrocephalus, although it is less often utilized compared to the ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt or endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Placement of the distal catheter typically involves the utilization of either the common facial vein (CFV) or the internal jugular vein (IJV), two frequently employed options for venous access. This study aims to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the long-term patency (2 years) of the distal end of the VA shunt of these two options...

BACKGROUND: Inserting cerebrospinal fluid diversion devices like external ventricular drains (EVDs) and ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPSs) is a critical procedure. Unfortunately, complications such as catheter misplacement, dislocation, or infection can occur. Various surgical strategies aim to reduce these risks. One recent innovation is the "catheter-locking device (CLD)-assisted" technique for EVD surgery. In this study, we examined its application in a larger group of cases encompassing both EVDs and VPSs over a 30-month period, with a focus on these complications...

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt infections are associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality from complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, shunt malfunction and in some cases, recurrence of infection. Brevibacterium and Corynebacterium are gram positive organisms that are rarely implicated in VP shunt infections but are more commonly associated with colonization of dialysis and central venous catheters. Typical microbiological isolates in VP shunt infections include Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus epidermidis and gram-negative rods...

BACKGROUND: Hydrocephalus is a frequent complication of tuberculous meningitis (TBM), and ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) has been shown to improve short-term prognosis for patients with TBM-associated hydrocephalus. However, questions remain about long-term prognosis and shunt-related complications. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of both long-term prognosis and shunt-related complications in patients with TBM-induced hydrocephalus who have undergone VPS treatment...
