Help docs, has hydrocephalus treatment advanced any further than it was 10 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydrocephalus: I cannot really say there has been any significant advancement in the last 10 years. A huge difference from fifty years ago but the techniques we use now are pretty much the same as what was used 10 years ago.
