In some cases, expectant mothers may require a shunt procedure during pregnancy. A shunt is a thin tube surgically placed to drain excess fluid that can accumulate in different areas of the body. This fluid build-up can potentially harm both mother and baby if left untreated. At Parvathi Hospital, our team of skilled surgeons and experienced obstetricians work collaboratively to ensure the safest and most effective shunt procedures for pregnant women.
Shunt procedures during pregnancy are typically performed to address two main conditions:
At Parvathi Hospital, we understand the delicate nature of performing a shunt procedure on a pregnant woman. Our approach prioritizes both maternal and fetal well-being, with the following key elements:
We conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the necessity and type of shunt procedure required. This may involve advanced imaging techniques like ultrasounds or MRIs, performed with minimal fetal exposure.
Whenever possible, we utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques to minimize risks and recovery time for the mother.
Throughout the procedure, we closely monitor both mother and baby to ensure their safety.
Our team of surgeons, obstetricians, and neonatologists work together to provide seamless care throughout the entire process.

Shunt procedures during pregnancy are generally safe when performed by experienced surgeons in a well-equipped healthcare facility. Our team at Parvathi Hospital prioritizes safety measures and utilizes advanced monitoring techniques to minimize risks for both mother and baby.
Following a successful shunt procedure, you will be closely monitored for any signs of infection or complications. Recovery time typically depends on the specific procedure performed and your individual health. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and ongoing support throughout your pregnancy journey.
The type of delivery (vaginal or cesarean) is usually determined by various factors independent of the shunt procedure. Your doctor will discuss the most suitable delivery method based on your individual circumstances.
