An attempt to prevent the problem of shunt-tube migration

N I Azzam. Childs Nerv Syst. 1988 Feb.

Abstract

Five children are presented with complications related to migration of peritoneal shunt tubes. Anchoring the distal end of the peritoneal tube to the peritoneum was found to be a satisfactory answer to the problem in 13 children. This simple method does not add much to the operation time and has prevented shunt-tube migration in the group studied.
