DIALYSIS CATHETER PLACEMENT: RETENTION OF A GUIDE WIRE

Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement Techniques

The success of catheter placement is critically important for the ability to stay on peritoneal dialysis over the long-term. Nephrologists have used percutaneous placement with or without fluoroscopic guidance and placement using peritoneoscopic guidance to place these catheters. Complications can be divided into early, within 14 days, and late complications, those arising more that 14 days aft...

Laparoscopic Placement of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter (Same Day Dialysis)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains the generally accepted method for management of renal failure in chronic and acute renal failure. Despite the rapidly increasing use of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) since its introduction, controversy persists as to the efficacy and exact role of the modality in the treatment of end stage renal failure. The aim of thi...
