About Ventricular cerebrospinal fluid drainage (VP shunt)

A VP (ventriculoperitoneal) shunt is a surgical procedure used to treat hydrocephalus, a condition caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain’s ventricles. The shunt system diverts the fluid to the abdominal cavity, where it is absorbed, relieving pressure on the brain and preventing further complications. In Turkey, VP shunt surgeries are performed by highly skilled neurosurgeons using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques. Patients receive thorough pre-operative evaluations, precise surgical care, and long-term follow-up to monitor shunt function and prevent complications. HealMinded connects patients with Turkey’s leading neurosurgical centres, ensuring safe and effective treatment for hydrocephalus. With modern facilities, affordable treatment packages, and a high standard of care, Turkey is an excellent destination for VP shunt procedures.
