Stratification of Risk Factors of Complications Associated with Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a frequent method for renal replacement therapy in pediatric population. However, PD is associated with a high incidence of early and late complications. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the perioperative factors associated with these complications.

Laparoscopic Hartmann's reversal has better clinical outcomes compared to open surgery: An international multicenter cohort study involving 502 patients.

Background: Hartmann's procedure (HP) is used in surgical emergencies such as colonic perforation and colonic obstruction. "Temporary" colostomy performed during HP is not always reversed in part due to potential morbidity and mortality associated with reversal. There are several contributing factors for patients requiring a permanent colostomy following HP.
