The treatment of hydrocephalus emphasizes personalization, which means selecting different treatment methods based on the cause, type, and severity of the accumulation. Most cases require surgical intervention, with options such as ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. However, postoperative complications such as under-shunting, over-shunting, shunt tube obstruction, and infection are common. Those with access to advanced facilities may also undergo minimally invasive surgery under endoscopy, which eliminates the need for lifelong shunt tubes. Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital's Department of Neurosurgery has extensive experience in personalized hydrocephalus treatment.
