Effectiveness and safety of ventriculoperitoneal shunt versus lumboperitoneal shunt for communicating hydrocephalus: A systematic review and meta‐analysis with trial sequential analysis [PDF]
CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics, 2023 Our meta‐analysis indicates that LPS is a safe and equally effective treatment for hydrocephalus compared with VPS. LPS had a lower complication rate, including lower infection, seizure, shunt obstruction/malfunction and hemorrhage rate, compared to VPS.

Association of Preoperative Cerebrospinal Fluids Parameters With Early Shunt Obstruction in Patients With Post-hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus Treated by Lumboperitoneal Shunt [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Background: Early shunt obstruction (SO) remains the most common cause of lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS) failure. Although there is anecdotal evidence that the level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters might affect shunt performance, its association ...
