A Study of Surgical Outcomes and Complications in Children Undergoing Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Eastern India
VP shunting is an effective intervention for pediatric hydrocephalus, with a high rate of early postoperative improvement. However, complications such as obstruction, infection, and overdrainage remain significant concerns. The findings highlight the need for improved surgical techniques, rigorous postoperative care, and strategies to enhance long-term follow-up in resource-limited settings.
