Extra-Axial Third Ventriculostomy – A Rescue Procedure in Shunt Failure

Expert neurosurgeons Dr. Vernon Velho & Dr. Laxmikant Bhople restore natural CSF flow in patients with multiple shunt failures.

Highlight Bullet Lines:

  • Minimally invasive procedure for complex hydrocephalus
  • Reduces dependence on shunt revisions and hardware
  • Proven success with safe, effective outcomes

About the Procedure

Hydrocephalus is a condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates in the brain. While shunt systems are commonly used, repeated shunt failures or infections can severely impact patients.

Extra-Axial Third Ventriculostomy provides a minimally invasive solution by creating an internal CSF pathway, restoring natural flow and reducing the need for repeated shunt surgeries.

Procedure Highlights:

  • Fenestration of the Lamina Terminalis
  • Supraorbital craniotomy for minimally invasive access
  • Internal CSF diversion without hardware dependence
  • Rescue option for patients with multiple shunt failures

Who Can Benefit?

  • Patients with recurrent shunt malfunctions
  • Individuals with shunt infections
  • Patients requiring rescue surgery for complex hydrocephalus

Why Choose This Procedure?

  • Minimally invasive with faster recovery
  • Reduces the risk of repeated shunt complications
  • Restores physiological CSF flow
  • Performed by renowned neurosurgeons with extensive experience
