Have had 5 revisions, has worked and is working. Obviously after time it breaks down and needs repair and I hate that I have to go through that for the rest of my life.

He got his shunt October 16th & it seems to be working well.

My husband has had 3 shunts placed since he was 2 months old.

Had shunt since 1 month old, except for 6 month period at age 17 when I was able to function without one.

hes doing fine so far its been in since the end of June 09...

It works. But at the rate that it's been happening I might have to have it replaced again. It seems no need to be replaced every 6 1/2 years.

I have had the same wp shunt since I was born. I have only had to have the tubing lengthened.

he has had 17 ops last one 4 weeks ago , lots of issues at school, we need help there and how to cope with same

diagnosed with Chiari malformation, 9 brain surgeries, 3 shunt placements, a stroke, and diagnosed with hydro all in 1 year.

Our baby had some fontanel taps in her first month and showed improvement for two months. She then underwent an ventrilostomy, but required a shunt operation 3 weeks later, August 13. She appears to be doing very well.
