DOI: 10.1007/s00381-021-05198-5
Abstract: Distal shunt tube migration following ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement in children is mostly managed by an initial shunt diversion/removal and subsequent replacement. Lately, shunt salvage is being used as an alternative in certain conditions. We… read more here.
