Brain Shunt Treatment Abroad
In the United States, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000 once you factor in the surgeon, anesthesia, imaging, ICU time, and follow-up. Internationally, the same procedure, performed by neurosurgeons trained at Johns Hopkins, Yale, and major European centers, often costs 60% to 90% less.
