Corrosion of aneurysm clips: evaluation and clinical implications. Part II: Individual performance.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although endoscopic septostomy is widely adopted in the treatment of unilateral or specific types of hydrocephalus, there is no consensus on surgical indications, technical aspects and postoperative outcome. In particular, the choice of the ventricular access has been recently debated. We investigated the re...
