How do I do it? Laparoscopic extraperitoneal reverse puncture technique for distal catheter placement in ventriculoperitoneal shunting
摘要
Background
Distal catheter migration and obstruction remain a significant cause of shunt failure after ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS). A fast and reliable distal catheter fixation can be achieved via a simple laparoscopic extraperitoneal reverse puncture (LERP) technique with minimum complications.
MethodIn this technical note, we introduce the workflow of the LERP technique for a safe and reliable distal catheter fixation.
ConclusionThe LERP technique can provide safe and reliable distal catheter fixation and may help reduce distal catheter migration related complications in VPS.
