Ventriculoalriostomy

Ventriculoalriostomy: what is it and how is it performed

Ventriculoalriostomy is a surgical procedure performed to relieve intracranial pressure caused by hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition where intracranial pressure increases due to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebral ventricles. Ventriculoatriostomy is one of the methods for treating hydrocephalus.

Previously, ventriculoatriostomy was one of the most common treatments for hydrocephalus. It was performed using several catheters that were inserted into the cerebral ventricles so that the cerebrospinal fluid could be drained into the jugular vein in the neck. However, with the advent of new technologies such as computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance, the operation has largely been replaced by more modern methods.

Today, ventriculoatriostomy is performed only in cases where other methods of treating hydrocephalus cannot be used. It may be recommended when pressure on the brain becomes dangerous to the patient's health. In such cases, ventriculoatriostomy may be necessary to reduce intracranial pressure.

Ventriculoatriostomy is a complex surgical operation that requires a highly qualified surgeon and special equipment. Patients who are recommended for this surgery should discuss all possible risks and side effects with their doctor.

In conclusion, although ventriculoatriostomy is no longer the first choice for the treatment of hydrocephalus, it remains an important option for those patients who require intracranial pressure reduction and are unable to use more modern treatment options.

**Intracapillary atriostomy** is a surgical technique that is used in the treatment of intracranial hypertension (intracranial hypertension). It is aimed at alleviating the patient's condition by removing excess fluid from the body through small punctures in the skin made at the level of the collarbone, which
