On Instagram, Tori Roloff explained in-depth what happened to her husband.
“Zachary had emergency shunt revision this morning. It’s been a scary 72 hours, but he is doing well and recovering!!” she wrote. “We are so incredibly blessed by our neurosurgeon team and their attentiveness to Zach’s needs!”
According to Tori, Zach had been suffering from migraines, and they’re hopeful the operation will relieve the issue.
Two days before, Tori revealed that Zach’s shunt required repair via her Instagram story. “They say it’s routine surgery but it’s far from my routine and Zach and I are nervous,” she said. “It feels big to us, but we trust his doctors and their ability and knowledge!”
What is a shunt procedure?
Zach Roloff has had a shunt in his Bʀᴀɪɴ since childhood. According to John Hopkins Medicine, “a shunt is a hollow tube surgically placed in the Bʀᴀɪɴ (or occasionally in the spine) to help drain cerebrospinal fluid and redirect it to another location in the body where it can be reabsorbed.”
However, they pose several risks, like blockage, over-drainage, under-drainage, and infection. However, Tori did not disclose which complication triggered the need for surgery.
This year wasn’t the first time Zach experienced complications with his shunt. In 2006, he underwent corrective surgery for the device during Season 1 of Little People, Big World.
Zach’s family members provided updates before and after the surgery.

According to Tori, Zach’s mom Amy Roloff watched their three children, Jackson, Lilah Ray, and Josiah Luke, during the surgery. “Shout out to @amyjroloff for holding down the fort and playing hide n seek for who knows how many hours,” she wrote on Instagram.
How is Zach Roloff doing now?
Luckily, it appears Zach’s operation went smoothly. The photos Tori recently shared depict her husband awake and well. Even from his hospital bed, the Little People, Big World star is smiling and giving the camera a thumbs up.
“You’re a freaking badass, Zach. You just had Bʀᴀɪɴ Sᴜʀɢᴇʀʏ… and handled it like a rockstar,” his wife wrote. “I’m so proud of you.”

One Reddit user added another disgusting story to the thread. They said, “Zach also attempted to clean his dirty sewage covered shoes in the kitchen sink.”
