Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is one of the options for the treatment of hydrocephalus. The aim of this study is to describe the efficacy and safety of a 90cm--long peritoneal catheter in newborns and infants treated for hydrocephalus. We analyzed the incidence of distal--related complications and the need of successive surgeries for malfunction or for lengthening of the peritoneal catheter.

Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is one of the options for the treatment of hydrocephalus. The aim of this study is to describe the efficacy and safety of a 90cm--long peritoneal catheter in newborns and infants treated for hydrocephalus. We analyzed the incidence of distal--related complications and the need of successive surgeries for malfunction or for lengthening of the peritoneal catheter.
