Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is a surgical procedure aimed at diverting excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdominal cavity using a specialized tube (shunt) to reduce intracranial pressure. The shunt is a thin tube with a valve that is placed under the skin and begins to function immediately after installation, diverting the excess fluid. The procedure is indicated for patients with hydrocephalus caused by congenital anomalies, tumors, infections, or injuries. After shunt placement, intracranial pressure normalizes, cognitive functions are restored, and motor activity returns to normal, helping the patient return to a normal life.
