The risk of operative revision and/or complications is significantly lower in the endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy group compared to the [[ventriculoperitoneal shunt]] group. Given the appropriate indication, endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy is thus the treatment of choice ((Gliemroth J, Käsbeck E, Kehler U. Ventriculocisternostomy versus ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the treatment of hydrocephalus: A retrospective, long-term observational study.
