Laparoscopic versus non–laparoscopic-assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement in adults. A retrospective analysis
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundVentriculoperitoneal shunts and distal shunt revisions bear a high risk of distal malfunction, especially in patients with previous abdominal pathologies as well as in obese patients. We performed laparoscopy-guided distal shunt placement or revision for patients with and without a positive abdominal history. We review the indications, techniques, complications, and long-term outcomes of these cases and compare the results to those of patients operated without laparoscopic guidance.MethodsA total of 211 distal shunt procedures were performed in our institute between January 2001 and December 2005, 59 of which were laparoscopically guided, and 152 were not. Of the 211 procedures, 177 were placement of new shunt systems, and 34 were distal revisions. A total of 33 procedures were performed in 25 patients with a history of abdominal surgery or inflammatory bowel disease; 15 procedures were operated with laparoscopic guidance.ResultsThe short-term complication and outcome rates were similar between the laparoscopy group and the other patients. Among the patients with new shunts, the long-term distal malfunction rate was lower in the laparoscopy group compared with the nonlaparoscopy group (4% vs 10.3%, respectively; P = .17). No patients in the laparoscopy group and 6 patients operated by other techniques had distal malfunction. There was 1 laparoscopy-related mortality and no morbidity.ConclusionsLaparoscopy is not routinely indicated in distal shunt placement or revision. However, a laparoscopy-guided procedure may lower the rate of distal malfunction in patients with previous abdominal surgeries.
