VP Shunt Surgery

Permanent drainage system for hydrocephalus treatment. A thin catheter is placed from the cerebral ventricles to the peritoneal cavity to continuously drain excess cerebrospinal fluid. Adjustable valve systems control pressure.

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV)

Minimally invasive shunt alternative for obstructive hydrocephalus treatment. Under endoscopic guidance, a natural drainage pathway is created at the floor of the third ventricle. Can eliminate shunt dependency.

Chiari Decompression

Decompression surgery for Chiari malformation creating space for the cerebellum. The occipital bone is enlarged and the dura is opened to provide more space for brain tissue. Syrinx drainage is performed if syringomyelia is present.

Arachnoid Cyst Fenestration

Endoscopic opening and drainage of cysts between the cerebral membranes. Through a small portal, the endoscope is introduced to open the cyst wall and connect it to normal cerebrospinal fluid circulation. A minimally invasive technique.

🦴

Spina Bifida Repair

Surgical closure of open spinal defects (myelomeningocele) within 24-48 hours after birth. The exposed spinal cord and nerves are protected and closed with muscle and skin coverage. Early surgical intervention reduces infection and additional injury risk.

Surgical correction of prematurely closed skull sutures. Performed using endoscopic (3-6 months) or open reconstruction (6-12 months) techniques. Provides sufficient space for brain development and restores normal skull shape.
