Hydrocephalus Treatment: Shunt Surgery
The primary surgical treatment is shunt placement. This procedure involves inserting a programmable shunt system. It drains excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another body area. The pressure can be adjusted after surgery for optimal drainage.
The surgical package costs around $10,000. It includes the operation and a 4-night hospital stay. The shunt device cost and a recommended 10-day post-discharge stay in Istanbul are separate. This monitoring period ensures proper recovery and shunt function adjustment.
