VP 分流管的工作原理是将脑脊液从脑部排出并转移到腹部，然后使其被身体吸收。 这样便可降低脑内的压力和肿胀。 VP 分流管由 3 个部分组成（见图 2）： 带有储液器的单向阀。 一根 短导管 （细软管）。 一根 长导管。 单向阀控制 CSF 流体的流动。 该阀的一端与短导管相连，以便将脑脊液排出大脑。 短导管可以置于您头部的前面、后面或侧面。 储液器用于收集少量 CSF，必要时医生可以使用储液器来采集 CSF 进行检查。 长导管连接至单向阀的另一端。 长导管置于皮下 …

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery (VP shunt surgery) helps control pressure in your brain by draining extra fluid out of your brain and into your belly. During VP shunt surgery, the doctor placed two small tubes (catheters) and a valve under your skin.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is surgery to treat excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cavities (ventricles) of the brain (hydrocephalus). This procedure is done in the operating room under general anesthesia. It takes about 1 1/2 hours. A thin tube (catheter) is passed from the cavities of the head to the abdomen to drain the excess CSF.
