The Choice of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Implantation Technique by Nephrologists
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) is the lifeline of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. One of the critical issues for successful PD is a well-functioning PDC which is timely inserted. It is the implantation technique rather than the catheter design that determines the outcome of the catheter. Dedication in acquiring the appropriate technique is vital to the success of a PD program. In this paper, we discuss the pros and cons of various techniques used for PDC implantation. A detailed description of PDC implantation by using the minilaparotomy method is presented. We strongly recommend mini-laparotomy as the method of choice for PDC implantation by nephrologists.

Importance of peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion by nephrologists: practice makes perfect.
‘Practice makes perfect’ is one of the most oft-heard aphorisms during our years of upbringing and education. Indeed, we believe that this rule makes perfect sense when applied to the practice of peritoneal dialysis. To date, there have been no robust randomized trials qualified enough to stir the cauldron that determines superiority (if any) of one dialysis modality over another. Although ever...
متن کاملThe impact of interventional nephrologists on the growth of a peritoneal dialysis program: Long-term, single-center experience.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an underutilized form of renal replacement therapy. Although a variety of factors have been deemed responsible, timely insertion of a PD catheter may also be a contributory factor. Furthermore, a good catheter implantation technique is important to allow for effective peritoneal access function and long-term technique survival. Studies regarding results obtained by n...
متن کاملUsing a Peritoneal Dialysis Access Simulator in Surgical Training for Nephrologists.
In Japan, peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion has been performed by both nephrologists and surgeons. However, nephrologists have fewer opportunities to train in the insertion procedure. We therefore used a PD access simulator to provide training in this operative technique for nephrologists. A PD access simulator developed by Terumo Medical Corporation was used for the training. The sim...
متن کاملChronic peritoneal dialysis catheters: overview of design, placement, and removal procedures.
The success of chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) depends to a large extent on the success of the chronic PD access device. For the nephrologist placing and removing PD catheters, or for the nephrologist advising surgeons in this role, this article provides a review of designs of PD catheters and differences in function and complications, methods of insertion of PD catheters and relation to cathe...
متن کاملPeritoneal 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...
