About this procedure
This procedure is used only on patients with hydrocephalus induced by a blockage of the cerebrospinal fluid. It makes a bypass for the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, and a shunt is not required. In this procedure, an endoscope is passed through the top of the skull into the brain. The endoscope enters the third ventricle through the lateral ventricle. A hole is made in its floor using a laser and excess fluid is drained into the subarachnoid space through the hole.
How to Prepare for Third Ventriculostomy
The patient may need to give some blood tests.
The patient should inform the doctor about any medical conditions and illnesses and medication that the patient may be taking.
Some medication that the patient is taking may be stopped.
