The Peritoneal Tie Technique: Our Laparoscopic Catheter Placement for Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a safe and effective replacement therapy for patients with terminal stage renal disease, alternative to hemodialysis. However, its success depends on the placement of a peritoneal catheter with a safe, functional and durable access. Currently, several techniques are put into practice for peritoneal catheter placement. Methods We present a detailed stepwise description of our operative technique for PD catheter placement. This description is combined with intraoperative photographs to highlight key steps. Results we describes potential pitfalls that may prevent optimal catheter function and We report our results in the medium and short term Conclusion This technique performe safely and standardized reproducible method for minimally invasive placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters,
