Incidence of infection rate for shunt implantation: the zero % rate is always a myth
Shunts will always be implanted especially in new-borns and for particular aetiologies of hydrocephalus. To reduce the rate of infection, the best thing to do is to adopt adapted protocols. Our low incidence of infection rate for shunts represent a long history to research preventive factors that helped us to improve our results during the time.
