Object There is conflicting information in the literature regarding increased risk of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt infection after abdominal surgical procedures such as gastrostomy tube (GT) placement and Nissen fundoplication (NF) young patient. To further elucidate this potential association, authors reviewed their institutional experience with cases. Methods The retrospectively records all patients shunted hydrocephalus who also underwent NF and/or GT placements over a 9-year period....
