Sažetak

During the last 21 years (from the beginning of 1978 till the end of 1998) 5286 neurosurgical operations were carried out at the Division of Neurosurgery of the Osijek Clinical Hospital. Among them, there were 321 operative procedures concerning hydrocephalus. The number of neurosurgical procedures was constantly increasing over the years, as well as the number of operatively treated hydrocephalus cases, which increased from only one case in 1978 to 52 in 1998. Constantly increasing number of patients who were operated on, which is significantly followed by the increase in cases with operated hydrocephalus, is a steady evidence of the improvement in neurosurgical practice. The technique of hydrocephalus operation was changing over the years as well, from the application of the Pudenz valve up to the programmable valve and bactisel system. Our immediate aim is to start implementing endoscopic surgery in the management of hydrocephalus.
