 | Kestle, John R. W. | Shunt insertion in the summer: is it safe? | Object. The potential for increased complications related to the arrival of new residents in July each year has not previously been demonstrated in the neurosurgical literature. The authors investigated this phenomenon in children undergoing cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgery. Methods. Data were ob... | Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; July effect; Complication; Shunt insertion | 2006 |

 | Kestle, John R. W. | Predicting slitlike ventricles in children on the basis of baseline characteristics at the time of shunt insertion | Object. Slit ventricle syndrome (SVS) is a delayed complication of shunt insertion and occurs only in children with slitlike ventricles after shunt placement. Although SVS appears to be related to early shunt placement, its predisposing factors are largely unknown. Methods. Baseline data in 737 chi... | Slitlike ventricles; Slit ventricle syndrome; Shunt insertion; Predictive factor; Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Pediatric neurosurgery | 2007 |

 | Kestle, John R. W. | Lack of benefit of endoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion: a multicenter randomized trial | Object. Endoscopically assisted ventricular catheter placement has been reported to reduce shunt failure in uncontrolled series. The authors investigated the efficacy of this procedure in a prospective multicenter randomized trial. Methods. Children younger than 18 years old who were scheduled for t... | Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Shunt insertion; Shunt failure | 2003 |
