Use of Blunt Scalp Hooks for Abdominal Procedure in Lumboperitoneal Shunt Placement: Technical Note
In obese patients, we often find difficulty in laparotomy for placing a lumboperitoneal shunt catheter. The authors introduced an easy technique to get a sufficiently wide and shallow operative field through small abdominal incision in obese people. Four blunt scalp hooks and rubber bands, commonly used in craniotomy, were prepared. The fat layer and the rectus abdominis muscle layer were retra...
متن کاملLumboperitoneal shunt insertion without fluoroscopy guidance: Accuracy of placement in a series of 107 procedures
Background: Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunts were the mainstay of cerebrospinal fluid diversion therapy for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The traditionally cited advantage of LP shunts over ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts is the ease of insertion in IIH. This needs to be placed at the level of L3/4 to be below the level of the spinal cord. The objective of this study was to analyse th...

متن کاملLaparoscopic-Assisted Lumboperitoneal Shunt: A Simplified Technique
OBJECTIVES Lumboperitoneal shunt has been advocated as a better alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunt in communicating hydrocephalus. To minimize the morbidity of subcutaneous tunneling or an open abdominal wound, we developed a simplified technique for laparoscopy-assisted placement of lumboperitoneal shunts. METHODS Patients deemed candidates for lumboperitoneal shunts underwent laparos...
