Laparoscopy for a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Tube Dislocated into the Colon

INTRODUCTION: Implantation of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a standard procedure for hydrocephalus. Different complications can occur, one of them being migration of the distal end of the tube. CASE DESCRIPTION: The abdominal end of a VP shunt tube had migrated into the descending colon. In a...

description INTRODUCTION: Implantation of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a standard procedure for hydrocephalus. Different complications can occur, one of them being migration of the distal end of the tube. CASE DESCRIPTION: The abdominal end of a VP shunt tube had migrated into the descending colon. In a laparoscopic procedure, the shunt was retrieved, and the colonic perforation site was resected. The patient had a favorable outcome. DISCUSSION: Laparoscopy can play a key role and is recommended not only to make an exact diagnosis, but also for definite, safe, and trauma-minimizing treatment of intraabdominal VP shunt dysfunction.
