Clinical effect of radical debris evacuation with a flexible neuroendoscope on patients with ventriculitis: a case series
Neuroendoscopic radical debris evacuation in patients with ventriculitis may shorten the duration between the initial treatment and shunt surgery and potentially reduce the proportion of patients requiring shunt surgery. This effect is likely due to the attenuation of ventricular inflammation, contributing to improved clinical outcomes.
