[Laparoscopic management of peritoneal dialysis catheters].
Chirurgia 2002
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter could be placed also by open laparotomy as well as by laparoscopic techniques. We did a retrospective study on cases to compare the results of laparoscopies. There were included 42 patients which we divided in two groups of 21. Group A underwent 21 cases in which catheters was inserted by open laparotomy. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was started in 24 to 48 hours later. Group B incharged 21 patients underwent laparoscopic placement of the catheter between 2000 and 2001. Continuous peritoneal dialysis was started early (after 6 hours). The mean operative time was 28 minutes in group A and 30 minutes in group B. Fluid leakage was noticed in 4 patients in group A and in 3 patients in group B. Peritoneal reactions occurred in 5 patients in group A and in 2 patients in group B. Tip migration occurred in 5 patients in group A (one of which was mobilized accidentaly early after intervention) in which was necessary 4 open reinterventions, and no patients in group B. In group B one patient underwent a simultaneous liver biopsy for cirosis and another female patient underwent ovariectomy for a giant ovary cyst. Laparoscopic placement of dialysis catheter leads to better function than does open procedure, it allows immediate start of dialysis and permits simultaneous performance of other laparoscopic procedures.
