The long-term outcome of children with VP shunt and hydrocephalus: motor developmental outcome and QOL of patients with hydrocephalus is associated with the number of revisional procedures but is not impacted by the type of the valve
The number of revisional procedures significantly affected the motor development of pediatric patients with a ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt calling for further research to improve VP shunt systems as well as surgical procedures like endoscopic third ventriculo-cisternostomy (ETV) in the future.
