Infertility and Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, 2004
Two women with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt had primary infertility. At laparoscopy they both had extensive peritoneal adhesions that made evaluation of pelvic organs impossible and increased the risk of bowel injury. History of ventriculoperitoneal shunt should be considered a contraindication of laparoscopy.

To fetch out the factors responsible for ascites, following shunt CSF diversion in cases of intracarnial lesions. Four children developing ascites/abdominal psuedocyst following ventriculoperitoneal shunt were analyzed to see the factors responsible for such complication.Records of 4 cases developing ascites were studied retrospectively. These children

Ascites Complicating Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1988
SummaryVentriculoperitoneal shunts are currently a standard therapy for obstructive hydrocephalus. These shunts are associated with a variety of abdominal complications, one of which is the development of ascites. We report an 11‐year‐old girl with a ventriculoperioneal shunt in whom a low‐grade peritoneal infection presented with ascites.

Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Implantation

2009
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation technique has benefited from the use the minimal access implantation of the shunt end in the abdomen. Re-do procedures of ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantations are better performed under endoscopic vision when adhesions cause problems in shunt implantation and shunt end placement.
