Medical - Medical (general) / Neurochirurgie
German term or phrase: Nervenwasserableitung und Medikamentenpumpenimplantation
Es geht um das Spektrum einer Neurochirurgie.

Der genaue Satz lautet: "Neben normalen neurochirurgischen Eingriffen führen wir auch Nervenwasserableitung und Medikamentenpumpenimplantation durch."

Nervenwasserableitung => liquor drainage?
Medikamentenpumpenimplantation => placement of drug pumps??

Kennt jemand die genaue englische Bezeichnung hierfür?

Vielen Dank ;-)

implant of a medical pump
Explanation:
this would refer to a pump for diabetics, i.e. which will release the required dosis on demand...I do not know about "nervenwasserableitung" maybe a shunt?

agree  gwm: shunt would be right - see: 'implantation of a shunt to divert excess CSF' at http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/neurogram/neur...

  -> thanks

agree  Anne Schulz: Ja, auch "drug pump", hier (Neurochirurgie) wohl für die Schmerztherapie über das Rückenmark. Vielleicht kann man das Ganze zusammenziehen als "implantation of cerebrospinal fluid shunts and drug pumps"?
