Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is a common surgical procedure used to treat hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an excess accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. The procedure involves placing a shunt system, consisting of a catheter and a valve, to divert excess CSF from the brain’s ventricles to the abdominal cavity, where it can be absorbed by the body. This helps relieve pressure on the brain, reduce symptoms, and prevent further complications. VP shunting is typically recommended when other treatments have not been effective or the condition is severe.
