Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the ventriculo-gallbladder shunt (VGS) as an alternative to the standard ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for treating hydrocephalus in children who experience peritoneal failure.
- Conducted from January 2018 to December 2023, the research involved 18 patients with shunt dysfunction, with 10 undergoing successful VGS placement, showcasing a mean age of 35.4 months.
- Results indicated some temporary complications (like mild diarrhea and infections), but overall, the VGS showed promising outcomes with an average follow-up of 18.8 months without major issues.
