Seems a bit challenging -

"The procedure to implant the catheter in the brain and tunnel it under the skin to the abdomen was done under general anesthesia, lasting less than four hours. By the afternoon, patients could walk easily, with only mild abdominal pain, and they needed minimal or no painkillers. The pump was refilled (how?) every 7-15 days."
