[Lumbo-peritoneal CSF shunt (author's transl)]

P Bret, C Lapras

    Neuro-Chirurgie
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new lumbo-peritoneal shunt technique uses a percutaneous sub-arachnoid catheter. This method offers advantages over traditional ventricular shunts for communicating hydrocephalus.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Hydrocephalus Management

    Context:

    • Communicating hydrocephalus presents treatment challenges.
    • Traditional shunts involve ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are sought for CSF management.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a novel lumbo-peritoneal shunt procedure.
    • To evaluate the percutaneous introduction of a sub-arachnoid proximal catheter.
    • To compare this method with classical shunt techniques.

    Summary:

    • A preliminary technical report details a lumbo-peritoneal shunt.
    • The procedure involves percutaneous sub-arachnoid catheter placement.
    • This approach bypasses the need for ventricular CSF access.

    Impact:

    • Potential advantages for communicating hydrocephalus treatment.
    • Offers a less invasive alternative to ventricular shunts.
    • May improve outcomes in CSF diversion procedures.
