The endolymphatic shunt drains to the mastoid.
In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a small tube or valve to drain excess endolymph fluid into a space near the mastoid bone and/or removes some of the bone surrounding the endolymphatic sac in order to reduce pressure on it

The sigmoid sinus is then collapsed with gentle pressure. The surgeon exposes the endolymphatic sac and makes an incision in it in order to insert the shunt.
An endolymphatic shunt is a surgical procedure used to treat Meniere's disease, a condition of the inner ear that causes vertigo, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. The shunt is placed to divert excess fluid in the inner ear, reducing symptoms and restoring balance.
Surgical shunts are available in India, but only at medical facilities, and only when they are required for the patient. It is not possible to obtain shunts commercially.
Shunts in welders are used to measure and control the current flowing through the welding circuit. By providing a low-resistance path, shunts allow for accurate current sensing without significantly affecting the circuit's operation. This data is crucial for adjusting the welding parameters to ensure optimal performance and quality of the weld. Additionally, shunts can help protect the welder from overload conditions by monitoring current levels.
Yes, blood can flow through shunts when precapillary sphincters are closed, allowing for blood to bypass the tissue cells. Shunts are direct connections between arterioles and venules that can help regulate blood flow, especially in situations where blood flow needs to be redirected.

Heat shunts are components designed to dissipate heat away from electronic devices or systems to prevent overheating. They are typically made of materials like aluminum or copper with high thermal conductivity to efficiently transfer heat away from hot spots. Heat shunts play a critical role in maintaining the optimal operating temperature for electronics and preventing damage due to overheating.
Shunts are used to bypass portions of a circuit. Shunt capacitors are frequently used to pass the high-frequency components of signals to ground. See the Wikipedia article about shunts. (Follow the web link at lower left.)
The word 'shunt' is both a noun (shunt, shunts) and a verb (shunt, shunts, shunting, shunted).Examples:He had to have a heart shunt put in. (noun)The engineer will shunt the train onto that track instead. (verb)
