Takes out an entire cerebrospinal fluid shunt, meaning the valve and all of the tubing that drains fluid from around the brain, and puts a new shunt in, either along the same path or at a different site. It is done when the existing shunt is infected, blocked or no longer working. Draining the fluid keeps the pressure inside the head under control.
