Neuronavigation and Laparoscopy Guided Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Insertion for the Treatment of Hydrocephalus

Patient outcomes of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery, the mainstay treatment for hydrocephalus in adults, are poor due to high shunt failure rates. We present intraoperative footage of VP shunt insertion using neuronavigation and laparoscopy guidance, with the goal to reduce the risks of proximal and distal shunt catheter failures, respectively.

Source: James W Bonz, MD, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Central venous access is necessary in a multitude of clinical situations, including vascular access, vasopressor and caustic medication delivery, central venous pressure monitoring, volume resuscitation, total parental nutrition, hemodialysis, and frequent phlebotomy. There are three veins in the body that are accessed for central venous cannulation: the internal jugular, the subclavian, and the...

Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT The purpose of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is to infuse medications, perform intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, or inject radioactive tracers for special examination procedures. Placing a PIV is an invasive procedure and requires the use of an aseptic, no-touch technique. Common IV venipuncture sites are the arms and hands in adults and the feet in children. According to...
FAQs
The trocar provides the pointed leading tip needed to pass through tissue, whereas the hollow cannula forms the continuing access route. This separation allows the penetrating component to be removed after entry while the cannula remains available for subsequent device placement. The arrangement therefore combines tissue penetration with a maintained channel for controlled access.
Removing the trocar leaves the cannula positioned as an open access channel rather than leaving the pointed instrument in place. This creates space for introducing another device, such as an instrument or catheter, through the established route. The sequence also separates the initial tissue-entry function from the later delivery or placement function.
Once positioned, the cannula maintains the route created during entry and provides a defined pathway toward the intended internal space. Its hollow design permits another device to pass through without requiring a separate opening. In this way, access remains organized around one channel, supporting procedures that need directed percutaneous or surgical entry.
Trocar guided insertion is organized around a pointed trocar and a hollow cannula, allowing access through a controlled channel rather than relying on a larger incision. The cannula preserves the route after the trocar is withdrawn, while the limited incision supports placement of instruments, catheters, or other devices. This distinction is central to its minimally invasive role.
The process begins by positioning the trocar within its hollow cannula and advancing the pointed tip through the tissue. After the access route reaches the intended area, the trocar is withdrawn while the cannula remains in position. A separate instrument, catheter, or other device can then be introduced through the cannula for the planned procedure.
The cannula can accommodate the device required for the procedure, including an instrument, catheter, or another medical device. Its role is not limited to one device category; it provides the access route through which the selected item reaches an internal anatomical space. This flexibility makes the technique useful across procedures requiring controlled device placement.
Clinicians may use the approach when a procedure requires controlled percutaneous or surgical entry into an internal anatomical space. It is particularly relevant when an instrument, catheter, or other device must be placed through a limited access point. The technique provides a maintained channel for that placement while avoiding the need to create a separate route for each device.
The immediate outcome is establishment of a maintained cannula pathway through tissue to an internal anatomical space. After the trocar has been removed, this pathway supports the introduction or positioning of another device. By combining controlled entry with a limited incision, the technique facilitates minimally invasive access for procedures involving instruments, catheters, or related devices.
