Abstract |
Children with ventriculoperitoneal shunts undergoing communicating hydrocele repair are at increased risk of postoperative complications, including hydrocele recurrence, shunt injury, infection, and meningitis.

Management included placing the child in the Trendelenburg position and sealing the leak with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.
