Valveless Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts in Pediatric Hydrocephalus: Complication Profile and Feasibility in Resource-Limited Settings

2026-08-25

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Purpose Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement is the standard treatment for pediatric hydrocephalus, but complications remain prevalent regardless of valve type. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complication rates of valveless ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) in pediatric patients managed within a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) clinical se...
