This is good treatment. Since there was block of the shunt the shunt had to be revised. This shunt will remove excess brain fluid and send it to the abdominal fluid. You need to follow up with your Neurosurgeon in this regard. You can get consult any any major hospital in your area, preferably Govt. Hospital for good treatment and subsidised costs as well.
