  • Title: Distal end revision of ventriculoperitoneal shunts sparing minilaparotomy. Technical note.
    Author: Tekkök IH, Higgins MJ, Ventureyra EC.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1996 Dec; 85(6):1187-8. PubMed ID: 8929519.
    Abstract:
    Distal end malfunction of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt occurs secondary to outgrown, disconnected, fractured, or occluded peritoneal catheters. Replacement of such catheters normally requires a minilaparotomy. The authors describe a simple technique for peritoneal catheter replacement without minilaparotomy.
