MON-085 PERCUTANEOUS TENCKHOFF CATHETER INSERTION, A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE

A rare complication of Tenckhoff catheter insertion

A 57-year-old diabetic lady developed end-stage renal failure in 1998. A Tenckhoff catheter was inserted surgically in 1999. At the time of insertion, intra-abdominal adhesions were noted, which were thought to be related to her two previous caesarean sections. There were no gynaecological problems of note. Repeated episodes of peritonitis necessitated the removal of the Tenckhoff catheter in D...

Early diagnosis of CHD by fetal echocardiography based on maternal and fetal indications is important and lifesaving. The aim of study was to assess the referral aspects of pregnant women to pediatric cardiologist. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study on 250 documents of refer...

Radiological insertion of Tenckhoff catheters for peritoneal dialysis: a 1-year single-centre experience

BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important home-based dialysis modality for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The initiation of PD requires timely and skilled insertion of a Tenckhoff catheter (TC). At most centres, TCs are inserted laparoscopically by surgeons under general anaesthetic. This requires access to increasingly scarce surgical, anaesthetic and hospital inpatie...

Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Renal Tumors: A Single-Center Experience

PURPOSE To evaluate the oncological outcomes, complications, and changes in renal function in patients treated with computed tomography-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for small renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The charts of patients who underwent RFA from 2006 to 2011 at a single institution were reviewed. Oncological and functional outcomes were assessed. Statistical an...
