Endoscopic third ventriculostomy has no higher costs than ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) compared to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. METHOD We studied 103 children with hydrocephalus, 52 of which were treated with ETV and 51 with VPS in a prospective cohort. Treatment costs were compared within the first year after surgery, including subsequent surgery or hospi...

متن کاملRole of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Shunt Malfunction
Shunt placement was a standard treatment for patients with hydrocephalus. It is indicated for both communicating and noncommunicating types of hydrocephalus and for various etiologies of hydrocephalus, including infection; congenital malformations, such as aqueductal stenosis, congenital cysts, mega cisterna magna, and Arnold-Chiari malformation; hemorrhage; and tumor.

متن کاملComparing the Efficiency of Two Treatment Methods of Hydrocephalus: Shunt Implantation and Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy
Introduction: Hydrocephalus is one of the most common diseases in children, and its treatment requires brain operation. However, the pathophysiology of the disease is very complicated and still unknown. Methods: Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) and Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt (VPS) implantation are among the common treatments of hydrocephalus. In this study, Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) hyd...
متن کاملRole of endoscopic third ventriculostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: preliminary results of a randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Currently, the most common treatment for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS), generally with programmable valve implantation. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is another treatment option, and it does not require prosthesis implantation. OBJECTIVE To compare the functional neurological outcome in patients after 12 months of tre...
