I would love to read the article as well.
Today I just had my second laparoscopy to move (and shorten this time) the shunt tubing out from under my diaphragm where it was wrapped and coiled causing severe left abdominal pain and left collar bone pain (referred pain) for the past 9 months. I don't know what the chances are of it staying put this time, but I know I am about ready to give up if it doesn't work. My neurosurgeon also says I am not a good candidate for any of the shunt conversions (VA, ventriculopleural).
