  • Title: [Hydrocele and inguinal hernia after ventriculo-peritoneal shunt in childhood].
    Author: Di Rocco C, Iannelli A, Puca A, Calisti A.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1982; 4(6):661-4. PubMed ID: 6927418.
    Abstract:
    135 non tumoral hydrocephalic children have been operated on trough a V-P shunt in the period January 1975-June 1981. Of them, 10 (7.4%) presented an inguinal hernia or hydrocele in the postoperative period. Such complications required in 9 cases a specific surgical treatment, which was not followed by recurrence in any case; in one child the hydrocele subsided spontaneously. No relation was found with the type of shunt device inserted and the side of the operation.
