This present study also consisted of t...
In this article we analyzed 210 children who were underwent shunt operation between the years 1988-1995. The causes of shunt failure in this group of patients and the spreading of these complications over time are evaluated. Shunt revisions were required in 80 of 210 patients and a total of 178 revi...
