Once the diagnosis is verified and if the [[cerebrospinal fluid]] CSF is sterile, just simply remove the [[peritoneal catheter]] and reposition a new one in the abdomen. In case of CSF infection, the VP shunt can be removed and/or an external derivation can be made, and after treatment with antibiotics, a new VP shunt is placed in the opposite side of the peritoneum ((Dabdoub CB, Fontoura EA, Santos EA, Romero PC, Diniz CA.
