For patients with hydrocephalus, surgery is generally recommended. A common surgical option is the ventriculo-peritoneal shunt procedure, where a drain tube is placed in the patient's ventricular system. Through this surgery, excess cerebrospinal fluid is drained from the ventricular system to the patient's abdominal cavity, achieving a new balance. Most patients who undergo surgery achieve desirable outcomes, with initial symptoms and physical signs likely improving gradually. Over time, the patient's ventricular system may reduce in size, and may even return to normal. Therefore, for most patients with hydrocephalus, the surgical outcome is quite certain, and it is advised to opt for surgery at an early stage.
