Multiple shunt revisions are a formidable challenge in neurosurgery, as the surgeon faces progressive difficulties in finding suitable distal sites for implantation. Gallbladder offers an alternative safe implantation site of distal catheter in case of repeated peritoneal failures. We describe two such cases done in our institute in this brief report. One case has long term functioning shunt, whist other had complications. Relevant literature is also briefly reviewed here.
