Shunt Malfunction Attorney<\/h1>\n
\n

Shunts are used to manage cerebrospinal fluid or CSF in a person with this medical diagnosis. If the shunt is a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, there can be serious complications related to this shunt and its use. If you have just had a surgical procedure where a shunt was needed to help you with a medical issue, there will be serious complications if your shunt has malfunctioned. We understand these issues, and are here to help you with any questions that you may have regarding this case for personal injuries.<\/p>\n

The shunt is inserted into the person\u2019s brain<\/a> by a neurosurgeon. The shunt procedure is meant to treat hydrocephalus on the brain. If the shunt fails, it can seriously compromise the patient\u2019s life. The VP shunt is the most commonly used for this operation and surgical procedure, but it has issues when it fails. It is a foreign body that is placed into the brain, and it is often prone to having mechanical issues such as blockage, infection, shunt migration or shunt protrusion. If the function of the shunt fails, it can place the person\u2019s cognitive recovery into question and may pose serious complications for the person receiving the shunt.<\/p>\n

Shunt Malfunction is Often Clinically Undetectable<\/span><\/p>\n

With the use of a shunt, it is often the case that the shunt will fail and the doctors will not know it until it is too late. Shunts are known to cause serious blockages, malfunctions and cause infections in the person having the shunt. At times, the patients are prone to antibiotic sensitivity, and are not able to reduce the infection with these types of drugs. If the shunt fails, that means the medical device is not doing its job, and the person has issues with where the shunt was placed surgically. It can cause the person to also need additional surgical interventions, which may come at a high risk as well.<\/p>\n

Medical Complications That Can Be Expected with a Shunt Malfunction<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have had a shunt procedure to treat a medical condition, it is not expected that the shunt will actually fail. In fact, there is a low expectation on the part of the patient that the shunt will fail, as it is being implanted to resolve a serious medical issue for the individual. If your shunt is being placed to relieve pressure somewhere in your body, then the failing of the shunt can turn into a life-threatening condition on its own.<\/p>\n

There will be repercussions for your shunt malfunctioning. Whether the surgical procedure that placed the shunt was improperly performed, or the shunt equipment was defective and did not work for that reason, the result to you may be the same. You will now have surgical complications related to the surgical procedure that was to put the shunt into your body to resolve your medical issues. The healthcare provider, surgeon, hospital and medical team may be responsible for your shunt malfunctioning. We are here to help you sort this out, and get the recovery compensation that you need in this case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
