Search continues for ideal surgical remedy capable of addressing the dimensions of the problem. We aimed to evaluate endoscopic septal fenestration and pellucidotomy combined with proximal shunt tube refashioning and further advancement into isolated loculations of the ventricular system containing choroid plexus.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods:<\/jats:title>This retrospective study was conducted on 55 patients with symptomatic complex MLH who underwent endoscopic surgery. The collected data included patients\u2019 age, gender, presenting manifestations, operative details, rate of remission of preoperative clinical and imaging signs, postoperative complications, redo surgery, or extra shunt hardware insertion. Patients were divided into Group A (underwent the standard technique of endoscopic multiseptal wide fenestration and final ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion) and Group B (modified technique by adding extra side ports along the proximal shunt hardware).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results:<\/jats:title>Groups A and B included 25 and 30 patients, respectively. The percentage of patients showing improvement of almost all manifestations was higher in Group B compared to Group A, with no significant difference (P<\/jats:italic>> 0.05). Group B had lower rate of complications (20% vs. 36%,P<\/jats:italic>= 0.231), insertion of two shunts (16.7% vs. 20%,P<\/jats:italic>= 1.000), and redo surgery (20% vs. 44%,P<\/jats:italic>= 0.097).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>The modified technique was associated with better outcomes in terms of the use of single shunt and redo surgery. Launching randomized clinical trials to compare the two techniques are recommended to ascertain the efficacy of the modified technique.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_608_2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,30]],"date-time":"2021-08-30T10:30:04Z","timestamp":1630319404000},"page":"434","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Endoscopic treatment of complex multiloculated hydrocephalus in children, steps that may help to decrease revision rate"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sherif Elsayed","family":"Elkheshin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Bebars","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_608_2021\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-014-2596-z","article-title":"Surgical management of complex multiloculated hydrocephalus in infants and children","volume":"31","author":"Akbari","year":"2015","journal-title":"Childs Nerv Syst"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_608_2021\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"641","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198106000-00001","article-title":"Multiloculated hydrocephalus in infants","volume":"8","author":"Albanese","year":"1981","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_608_2021\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-012-1702-3","article-title":"Multiloculated hydrocephalus: A review of current problems in classification and treatment","volume":"28","author":"Andresen","year":"2012","journal-title":"Childs Nerv Syst"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_608_2021\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.38.1.6","article-title":"Neonatal meningitis.
