The introduction of new and ever-more sophisticated and effective technology has made an evolution possibile in Neurosurgery that until a few years ago was considered absolutely unthinkable… |

Hydrocephalus is a pathology often found in both children and adults.
It is characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal liquid in the cerebral ventricles, and can be a congenital malformation or acquired through tumours, infections, or hemorrhages.. |

A few years ago, a new derivativon system developed and realized from Dr. Svend Erik Børgesen of University Neurosurgery of Copenhagen (DK), has appeared on global market. |

The technique of endoscopy has aroused much enthusiasm from experts, as it allows for the complete recovery of many patients that otherwise, if treated with the classic ventricle-peritoneal or ventricle-atrial system, would have been condemned to a life of surgery with the constant risk of suddenly finding wounds from serious infections or from valvular malfunctions |

Our approach to hydrocephalic patients is first and foremost to assess the possibility of a decisive endoscopic treatment (total recovery!) and, in the case where such a treatment is not possible, to use a silicone shunt suitable to the specific clinical case. There are hundreds of diverse shunts on the market that range from less-sophisticated models to those more recent and specially made, in particular those that drain the liquid directly from the cerebral sinus cavities: for this treatment we have the best case record in the world. |

Dr. Antonio Pieri, offers the best surgical approach to this pathology while guaranteeing and safeguarding the health and quality of life for every patient.
At the “ Fatebenefratelli ” Hospital of Milano we treat patients of all ages. Almost half of our new patients have previously been treated and come to us with problems from these past treatments |
