Postoperative course was complicated by perigraft seroma and serous fluid leakage. Conservative management with re-insertion of the chest tube failed to resolve the problem. At reoperation, after perigraft seroma removal, the PTFE graft was wrapped by Dacron patch and oxidized regenerated cellulose. This approach resulted in immediate reduction of the serous fluid leakage and eventually stopped on the 3rd postoperative day.</p> <p>                At the last follow-up 4 months later, the child appeared well with good function of the shunt.</p>}, number={3}, journal={The Thai Journal of Surgery}, author={Rergkliang, Chareonkiat and Vasinanukorn, Prasert and Chetpauphan, Apirak and Chittitavorn, Vorawit}, year={2002}, month={Sep.}, pages={79–82} }
