VP Shunt Surgery
Medically reviewed by Dr. Udbhav Bansal, MBBS, MS, MCh Neurosurgery
Effective surgical management of hydrocephalus to relieve pressure on the brain.
Overview
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery is a life-saving procedure performed to treat hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain. During the surgery, a flexible tube (shunt) and valve system are placed to safely drain excess fluid from the brain's ventricles into the abdominal cavity, where it is naturally absorbed by the body.
Key Benefits
- Immediate relief of increased intracranial pressure
- Prevention of potential brain damage
