There is a lack of data to guide neurosurgeons on the management of ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) in patients undergoing abdominal transplant operations. We present the cases of two pediatric patients with VPS undergoing liver transplantation who were successfully managed with externalization of the VPS at time of transplantation, with subsequent re-internalization once cleared by the transplant surgery team. We present this as an effective management strategy in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
目前缺乏数据来指导神经外科医生管理正在接受腹部移植手术的患者的脑室-腹腔分流管(VPS)。我们报告了两例 VPS 患儿行肝移植的病例,他们在移植时成功地将 VPS 外置,随后在移植手术团队确认后再次内置。我们认为这是一种在肝移植患者中有效的管理策略。
