🧠 VP Shunt Surgery – A Lifesaving Neurosurgical Procedure
📍 By Dr. Waqas Mehdi | Consultant Neurosurgeon
Hydrocephalus – the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain – can lead to life-threatening pressure on the brain if left untreated.
Routinely we are successfully performing a VP Shunt operation to relieve Brain pressure and restore normal CSF flow. This small but critical device diverts excess fluid from the brain to the abdomen, where it is safely absorbed by the body.
✅ Conditions treated:
Macrocephaly
Congenital hydrocephalus
Developmental delays (in children)
Obstructed hydrocephalus
Post tumor hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus
🔬 Modern neurosurgical techniques and meticulous planning are vital to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
💬 If you or your loved one has been advised a shunt procedure or has symptoms suggestive of hydrocephalus, consult a qualified neurosurgeon in time.
