Abstract

In this study, 96 files of patients with COMPLICATIONS of SHUNT procedures for hydrocephalus during a 10 year period were reviewed. A total of 437 SHUNT procedures and 137 operations for COMPLICATIONS of SHUNT procedures were conducted on 96 patients at neurosurgical department of Shohada hospital during a 10 year period.This study is aimed to evaluate all of the COMPLICATIONS of SHUNT procedure and a comparison of their relative incidence and an evaluation of factors causing them. The most common complication was ventricular catheter obstruction (41.66%), followed by SHUNT infection (29.1%). We couldnot find any significant relationship between the sex of the patients, system, type and side of the SHUNT and COMPLICATIONS, except for Pudenz SHUNT which had the lowest rate of SHUNT REVISIONs in our patients.In addition, there was a direct relationship between the total number of SHUNT REVISIONs and positive past history of SHUNT REVISION. The average number of REVISION procedures in our study was 1.7 which was not statistically different from other studies (1.5-2.5), but the relative frequency of our SHUNT infection was more than other series.
