Five-year experience of peritoneal dialysis catheter placement.
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a widely used renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Using laparoscopic guidance for PD catheter placement, we have designed a safe method that resulted in a reduction in catheter migration.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 250 consecutive patients who underwent PD catheter placement from January 2005 to December 2009. The patients were divided into two groups: the conventional open surgery group and the laparoscopic group. All patients received Tenckhoff straight catheters. In the laparoscopic group, the catheter was additionally fixed to the ventral abdominal wall. Data were collected and a statistical analysis was performed to compare patient characteristics, surgical complications and catheter removal between the groups.
RESULTS: Overall surgical complications in the laparoscopic group were lower than those in the conventional group (3.8% vs. 19.4%, p < 0.001), and the majority of catheter migrations and omental wraps occurred in the conventional group. Patients in the conventional group had higher American Society of Anesthesiologists scores than those in the laparoscopic group. There was no difference in the incidence of previous abdominal operation or follow-up periods in the groups.
CONCLUSION: Our laparoscopy-assisted PD catheter insertion method using an intraperitoneal fixation loop is safeand can be a valuable tool in prevention of catheter migration and omental wraps.
