Access personalized VP Shunt care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
At NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah, VP Shunt is performed using advanced neurosurgical equipment and personalized CSF management strategies. Established in 1981, this JCI accredited hospital in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates has 137 beds and offers specialized treatment for hydrocephalus and other neurological conditions.
VP Shunt may be recommended when excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates within the brain and causes increased ventricular size or pressure. During the procedure, a thin catheter is placed into one of the brain's ventricles and connected to a valve and tubing that carries the fluid into the peritoneal cavity. The valve regulates CSF drainage according to the type of shunt used. After implantation, patients require follow-up to assess neurological symptoms and shunt function and to identify possible complications such as blockage or infection.
