VP Shunt is a commonly used method of treating hydrocephalus by transferring excess CSF from the brain to another part of the body. The procedure usually involves creating a small opening in the skull to insert the ventricular catheter, followed by placement of a programmable or fixed-pressure valve and abdominal catheter. The shunt is designed to regulate the movement of CSF and reduce pressure or ventricular enlargement. Following surgery, doctors monitor neurological status, wound healing, and signs of shunt malfunction or infection.
