Hydrocephalus treatment
Dr. Islam Al-Ajhouri uses the endoscope to treat this disease without installing a foreign body or valve
It is done through a simple hole in the brain to open a waterway using an endoscope without resorting to installing a foreign body. The advantage of this surgery is to avoid infection or close the valve.
We treat dropsy surgically according to the appropriate method for the patient and using modern techniques, given that the brain area is a sensitive area:
- Cerebral Peritoneal valve installation
- Endoscopic modification of the cerebrospinal fluid pathway
