Abstract:
Now a days ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunts are one of the most commonly performed neurosurgical procedures. These patients can present for various surgeries in later period of life and anaesthetic management may become difficult and complicated in them. Subarachnoid block can be considered as suitable options in patients with no signs of raised intracranial tension having VP-shunt in situ posted for short surgical procedure like hemorrhoidectomy with due attention towards adequate hydration, strict asepsis and antimicrobial prophylaxis.
