  • Conference paper
Spinal Cord Tumors Experimental Neurosurgery Neurosurgical Intensive Care

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurosurgery ((NEURO,volume 14))

Abstract

The operative treatment of hydrocephalus with recent shunt systems frequently leads to a too high rate of complications. This is due to biological factors as well as to the mechanical properties of the systems.
