Clinical Outcomes of Lumboperitoneal Shunt Surgery for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus : A 5-Year Single-Center Retrospective Study of Patients with at Least 1 Year of Follow-Up
A retrospective study showed that LPS surgery with local anesthesia is effective for NPH patients, demonstrating favorable functional outcomes and acceptable complications. Using higher initial valve pressures significantly decreased the need for revision surgeries and complications related to overdrainage.
