Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy is generally performed under general anaesthesia. A small opening is made in the skull to introduce the endoscope into the ventricular system. Using direct visualization, the surgeon creates a controlled opening in the floor of the third ventricle, allowing CSF to flow through the newly created pathway. After the procedure, patients are monitored for neurological changes, infection, bleeding, CSF leakage, and recurrence of hydrocephalus. Follow-up imaging may be performed to assess ventricular size and treatment response.

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) is a neurosurgical procedure used to treat hydrocephalus, a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the ventricles of the brain. During an ETC procedure, a neuroendoscope is inserted through a small hole in the skull. This allows the surgeon to create a new pathway for the cerebrospinal fluid to flow through, bypassing the obstructed areas.
ETV is a neurological procedure that is commonly suggested to treat obstructive hydrocephalus- a type of hydrocephalus where the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked, leading to fluid buildup and increased intracranial pressure.
The recovery process after ETV varies depending on individual factors like the patient's age, overall health, and severity of their condition. After the procedure, patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days for monitoring. Physical activity and certain restrictions may be advised during the recovery period. Regular follow-up appointments and imaging tests will be scheduled to assess the effectiveness of the procedure and the patient's progress. Overall, the recovery after an ETV procedure may take at least 2 - 6 weeks.
