We performed a VP shunt operation again. We induced the shunt tube, which was cut and ligated, and embedded in the abdominal wall in the 2nd operation, into the abdominal cavity. The length of the shunt tube in the abdominal cavity is only 5mm. It's an unusual procedure, but there was no other way to avoid excessive adhesions and intestinal obstructions. But I don't know whether this procedure will be successful or not. I hope the patient gets better.
