What is Hydrocephalus Surgery?
Hydrocephalus surgery is performed to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain, reducing pressure and preventing neurological damage. The most common procedures include shunt placement and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) to regulate fluid flow. Untreated hydrocephalus can lead to severe cognitive and motor impairments, making surgery a crucial intervention. Modern surgical techniques ensure a high success rate, faster recovery, and improved neurological function.
