Abstract:
We have designed a novel device that facilitates the accurate placement of occipital ventricular catheters in ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedures. After 7 years of clinical use, this device has consistently demonstrated its simplicity, user-friendliness, and effectiveness. It enables both experienced surgeons and novices to confidently and accurately position the ventricular catheter to a satisfactory location.
