Yes, a shunt can be removed, but the decision depends on the underlying condition it was placed to treat. If the condition has improved or resolved, or if the shunt is causing complications, a healthcare provider may recommend its removal. The procedure should be performed by a qualified medical professional to ensure safety and address any potential issues related to the removal. Regular follow-up and evaluation are essential to determine the appropriate timing for removal.
