The best management of hydrocephalus is still controversial in the twenty-first century. Shunt treatment for hydrocephalus is the most common procedure performed in neurosurgical practice and is associated with the highest complications rate. But during the last 2 decades, the treatment of hydrocephalus has improved with better shunt devices available today, increased facilities for investigations and newer approaches like endoscopic third ventriculostomy. The recent advances in development of better endoscopes have provided the patient and treating doctor with an option for an alternative surgery for treatment of hydrocephalus.
在二十一世纪，脑积水的最佳治疗仍存在争议。脑积水的分流治疗是神经外科实践中最常见的手术，其相关并发症发生率也最高。但在过去的 20 年里，随着更好的分流装置的出现，脑积水的治疗得到了改善，检查设施也有所增加，新的治疗方法如内镜第三脑室造瘘术也得到了应用。最近在开发更好的内镜方面的进展为患者和治疗医生提供了一种替代手术治疗脑积水的选择。
