The procedure, usually referred to as ventriculocisternostomy (VCS), Torkildsen's operation, or Torkildsen's shunt, became internationally recognized as an efficient operation for the treatment of noncommunicating hydrocephalus. The operation gained widespread use in the 1940s and 1950s before the introduction of extracranial shunts.
