About

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in cases of hydrocephalus provide less invasive and safe technique than ventriculoperitoneal Shunt also decrease complications of ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Full description

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure used to treat obstructive hydrocephalus in children. By creating an opening in the floor of the third ventricle, the surgeon establishes a new pathway for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to bypass the blockage and drain naturally, potentially eliminating the need for a traditional brain shunt.
