Article Synopsis
- Hydrocephalus is a medical condition that requires surgical solutions to manage excess cerebrospinal fluid, with the ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) being the most common method used today.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of VPS and ventriculoatrial shunt (VAS) techniques, analyzing data from nine studies involving 3,197 patients.
- The analysis found that the VAS had a significantly lower risk of shunt dysfunction, while risks of infection, revision, and death were statistically similar between the two methods but showed high variability across studies.

A pyloric drainage procedure in an effort to reduce its incidence, most commonly a pyloroplasty, represented for years a standard part of distal esophagectomy. This trend has been reevaluated nowadays and the question that still remains open is whether we should further keep on draining pylorus during esophagectomy or not.
