Abstract
Abstract
A technique for the insertion of the Holter ventriculo-atrial shunt for the treatment of infantile hydrocephalus and the pre- and postoperative management of such patients is described.
The technique has been applied to 330 hydrocephalic children with minimal operative mortality and with a greatly reduced incidence of morbidity over previous methods. Simplification of the original method is considered an important factor in the satisfactory results.
The technique can be carried out in a general hospital without special equipment and by a surgeon with paediatric surgical experience but without special neurosurgical training.
