First Clinical Evaluation of a Modular Lumboperitoneal Shunt System With a Gravitational Unit for Communicating Hydrocephalus: A Retrospective Case Series
This is the first study to report on an LPS valve system with an integrated gravitational unit. Our findings suggest it is a feasible, potentially effective treatment option across multiple forms of communicating HC. This system may redefine overdrainage management standards in LPS for select populations. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these results.
