Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is surgery to treat excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cavities (ventricles) of the brain (hydrocephalus).
To help drain the extra CSF from your brain, a VP shunt will be placed into your head. The VP shunt works by taking the fluid out of your brain and moving it into your abdomen (belly), where it's absorbed by your body. This lowers the pressure and swelling in your brain.
CPT® 61510, Under Craniectomy or Craniotomy Procedures The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 61510 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Craniectomy or Craniotomy Procedures.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or there is a decreased absorption of the fluid. Cerebral shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus.
Shunt externalization is a temporizing procedure in which the distal catheter is removed from the abdomen at a site along the catheter's subcutaneous course at any point distal to the valve and allowed to drain to an external collection system.
During shunt surgery, a thin tube called a shunt is implanted in your brain. The excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain flows through the shunt to another part of your body, usually your tummy. From here, it's absorbed into your blood.
EVDs are a short-term solution to hydrocephalus, and if the underlying hydrocephalus does not eventually resolve, it may be necessary to convert the EVD to a cerebral shunt, which is a fully internalized, long-term treatment for hydrocephalus.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a medical device that relieves pressure on the brain caused by fluid accumulation. VP shunting is a surgical procedure that primarily treats a condition called hydrocephalus. This condition occurs when excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collects in the brain's ventricles.
A shunt is a hollow tube surgically placed in the brain (or occasionally in the spine) to help drain cerebrospinal fluid and redirect it to another location in the body where it can be reabsorbed.

A patient with congenital hydrocephalus status post ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was admitted due to shunt failure. The VP shunt had become free of its connection and had migrated into the abdomen. Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced. An incision was then made in the periauricular area to expose the site of the distal tubing, and cerebrospinal fluid was seen flowing through the disconnected tubing. A tunneler was used, and the distal tubing was brought back to the periauricular incision and tied to the connecter. Please clarify the correct ICD-10-PCS procedure code (s) for laparoscopic retrieval of VP shunt with replacement of the distal catheter. Should the shunt be classified as a drainage device? ...
Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is not classified as a drainage device. The shunt was initially placed to reroute the contents of the cerebral ventricle to another location, and “Bypass” is the appropriate root operation for the initial VP shunt procedure. In ICD-10-PCS, “Drainage” is defined as taking/letting out fluids/gases, whereas “Bypass” is defined as altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
The device value is “ synthetic substitute” because the original root operation for placing the VP shunt is “Bypass,” and the device placed in that root operation and now being revised is classified as a synthetic substitute. The sites of the procedures to revise the shunt are the peritoneal cavity and the subcutaneous tissue of the periauricular area (behind the ear), respectively. Assign the following ICD-10-PCS procedure codes:
