 Cerebrospinal fluid shunting is a surgical treatment alternative for hydrocephalus. In general, ventriculoperitoneal(VP)and lumboperitoneal(LP)shunts have been widely practiced as standard procedures. However, these procedures are difficult because the shunt passer often rotates unintentionally. Therefore, we developed a simple device that prevents shunt passer rotation and termed it a “shunt passer-clamp”(SP-C). This device consists of two parts:the first part is the body with a hole through which the passer goes and a “female” screw perpendicular to the hole. The second part is a “male” screw set to the body. The surgeon can attach the SP-C to the shunt passer without the requirement for remodeling. We employed a SP-C for 14 consecutive shunt surgeries and received favorable feedback from the surgeons. Handling was considered “easy” in all cases. The surgical duration was significantly shorter than that if the SP-C was not employed. We conclude that our specially designed SP-C is relatively effective.
