Objective To analyze safety and feasibility of transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients who diagnosed as hydrocephalus underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunting from May 2013 to August 2015 in this hospital were collected. Twelve patients were performed transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunting (laparoscopy group) and 24 patients were performed laparotomy ventriculoperitoneal shunting (laparotomy group). The abdominal operation time, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pain score, and postoperative complications rate were compared between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group. Results All the operations were completed successfully. Compared with the laparotomy group, the abdominal operation time (P < 0.05), postoperative exhaust time (P < 0.05), and postoperative hospital stay (P < 0.05) were significantly shorter, the postoperative pain score was significantly less (P < 0.05) in the laparoscopy group. The postoperative complications rate had no significant difference between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group (P > 0.05). Conclusions The preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunting is safe and feasible, with better cosmetic. more comparative studies or randomized controlled trials are required to make a confirmed conclusion.
