Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter malposition is one of the complications of renal replacement therapy. This study aimed to determine the preoperative factors that cause PD catheter malposition.
Methods: The prospective cohort study included patients who underwent PD catheter insertion surgery and had preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scans.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety of open surgery for placing peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters in patients aged 75 and older, as the need for renal replacement therapy is on the rise in this age group.
- Conducted from January 2015 to February 2021, researchers compared complications between patients aged 75 and older (group A) and those younger than 75 (group B) after surgery.
- Findings showed no significant differences in complications like fever, surgery duration, and catheter issues, indicating that open surgery for PD catheter placement is safe and effective for elderly patients.
: Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is a critical problem. However, preoperative risk factors for PD-related peritonitis have not been established. Thus, we aimed to determine the preoperative risk factors for PD-related peritonitis.
