Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement is one of the most commonly performed
neurosurgical procedures and is necessary to treat most forms of hydrocephalus …

Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt placement is the most common procedure
performed by pediatric neurosurgeons, shunts remain among the most failure-prone life …

The outcome of pediatric hydrocephalus, including surgical complications, neurological
sequelae and academic achievement, has been the matter of many studies. However, much …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts were invented almost 50 years ago. While their
introduction revolutionized the treatment of hydrocephalus, their complications have become …

Object. Endoscopically assisted ventricular catheter placement has been reported to reduce
shunt failure in uncontrolled series. The authors investigated the efficacy of this procedure in …

Introduction The decision-making process when we compare endoscopic third
ventriculostomy (ETV) with shunts as surgical options for the treatment of hydrocephalus in …

The clinical application of intracranial compliance (ICC),∆ V/∆ P, as one of the most critical
indexes for hydrocephalus evaluation was demonstrated previously. We suggest a new …

The unpredictable complexities in hydrocephalus shunt outcomes may be related to the
recovery behavior of brain tissue after shunting. The simulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) …

Intracranial compliance (ICC) holds significant potential in neuromonitoring, serving as a
diagnostic tool and contributing to the evaluation of treatment outcomes. Despite its …

Object Despite lower failure and infection rates compared with shunt placement, it has not
been known whether endoscopic third ventriculostomy/choroid plexus cauterization …
