Laparoscopy for distal catheter placement in new shunts was described in 1993 [7][8][9], but has not been used extensively for this purpose.…”

“…The use of laparoscopy for intra-abdominal complications related to the ventriculoperitoneal shunt has been advocated for almost 20 years (Lemay et al 1979;Morgan 1979;. These complications can be divided into:…”

“…If shunt disconnection or fracture has occurred, the distal part of the catheter can either be removed laparoscopically, or alternatively the peritoneal part of the shunt can be replaced in a laparoscopically assisted way (Guzinsky 1982;Lemay et al 1979;Schrenk et al1996).
