Limitations after vp shunt surgery in adult
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very few: This is entirely up to your surgeon of course, and will depend on the reason the shunt was put in to begin with, but shunts are put in to improve lifestyle and mobility. So barring anything unforseen, you should enjoy increased activity not limitations.
