The authors describe a T-tube Silastic shunting device which has been used for lumboperitoneal shunting in 62 patients with communicating hydrocephalus during the past 3 years. In 38 patients it was inserted as a primary shunting procedure; 24 patients had the shunt inserted following problems secondary to arachnoiditis created by a polyethylene-type lumboperitoneal shunt. The shunt described here has not led to arachnoiditis when inserted as a primary shunting procedure. In 61% of patients no operative revisions of their shunt has been required to date, and 81% continue to do well on their T-tube type shunt.
作者描述了一种T形管硅胶分流装置，在过去3年中，该装置已用于62例交通性脑积水患者的腰腹分流术。38例患者将其作为初次分流手术进行植入；24例患者在因聚乙烯型腰腹分流术引起的蛛网膜炎继发问题后植入分流管。此处描述的分流管作为初次分流手术植入时未导致蛛网膜炎。迄今为止，61%的患者无需对其分流管进行手术修正，81%的患者使用T形管型分流管情况仍然良好。
