[|Human|] Hi Samuel,Im writing this with a concern for my sisters fiancee who has been suffering with Hydrocephalus since 20 years and has shunt inserted in the 1993, there was no sign of a mishap, but two weeks before, there was a relapse and the shunt, according to the neurosurgeon was blocked and a new shunt was inserted on the other side of the brain. My family is immensely concerned about his future and my sisters future along with him. This incident and the operation happened just a week before the wedding the scheduled and we had to hold the wedding for now. Please tell me if there would be no problems in the future since a new shunt is inserted and what are the complications,if any.Thank you.Tameem Aamir,India.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Shunt surgery is a safe procedure for treating HY Chat Doctor.  Blockage of shunt and infection of shunt are uncommon complications seen with shunts, which are treated by removing the old shunt and replacing it with a new one. There is no need to worry, and we do not expect any problems in the future. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes,
