RESUMEN
There is a lack of data to guide neurosurgeons on the management of ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) in patients undergoing abdominal transplant operations. We present the cases of two pediatric patients with VPS undergoing liver transplantation who were successfully managed with externalization of the VPS at time of transplantation, with subsequent re-internalization once cleared by the transplant surgery team. We present this as an effective management strategy in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
