Purpose:
The abdominal procedure of ventriculoperitoneal or lumboperitoneal shunt is difficult because of a deep and narrow operative view, especially for obese patients. We have developed the 'Hoisting method,' which enables us to make abdominal procedures easy and safe.
Material And Methods:
We report our experience with five cases between April 2020 and March 2021.
Results:
The placement of the shunt was easy and safe in all patients without any complications.
Conclusion:
The shunt method is very effective and easy without requiring additional devices.
