Laparoscopic surgery in two cases of endometrial cancer with ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Here we report on the management and outcomes of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in uterine cancer patients undergoing MRI and subsequent laparoscopic surgery. VPS is crucial for hydrocephalus treatment, a cerebrovascular disease complication, by facilitating drainage from ventricles to the abdominal cavity. MRI scans in VPS patients necessitate neurosurgical consultation due to potential shunt dysfunction from altered valve pressure settings. We present two cases of uterine cancer patients with pre-existing VPS who underwent laparoscopic surgery following MRI diagnostics.
