Abstract:
The use of laparoscopic guidance for abdominal puncture and introduction of ventriculoperitoneal shunt peritoneal catheters using a peritoneal split trocar is proposed. The technique permits location of the catheter in the right parietocolic space or its relocation if trapped within the omentum. Cerebrospinal fluid flow is certified. Since the submission of the paper 6 selected cases have been operated upon without complications.
