[|Human|] my daughter has been advised by a doctor to put shunt bcause hydroceplus is forming. at the age of 21days she had gone through by the same procedure that is vp shunt & it was infected after 4years when she was 41/2years &it was operated.now  with in month again same process. so my question is there any shunt in india  that we can put to my daughter so that  the chance for infection will be less.
[|AI|]  Hi, There is minor risk of infection in any procedure however aseptic precaution is taken. The shunt was changed in view of blockage or malfunctioning which will lead to recurrent HY Chat Doctor. Programmable shunts are better than fixed pressure shunts. Allow the neurosurgeon to set the pressure at which the valve will open, allowing the shunt to be programmed for the individual needs of each person. If needed, the pressure setting can be easily changed by the doctor during an office visit. Hope this will help regards
