Background Several peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) placement techniques have been
described. The objective of this study was to compare the fluoroscopy and ultrasound …

Objective Despite percutaneous fluoroscopy ensuring appropriate placement of peritoneal
dialysis (PD) catheters, the efficacy of this method is not well known. Therefore, we …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement is performed by surgeons, interventional
radiologists, and interventional nephrologists. Catheter insertion is accomplished through …

Purpose A previous clinical trial showed that radiologic insertion of first peritoneal dialysis
(PD) catheters by modified Seldinger technique is noninferior to laparoscopic surgery in …

Experiences with minimally invasive techniques for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter
placement are being increasingly described. Percutaneous placement of catheters using …

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a widely employed renal replacement modality. A
prospective study was conducted to determine the short-term and midterm outcomes and …

Objective To determine the best operation technique, open versus laparoscopic, for insertion
of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter with regard to clinical success. Clinical success was …

Background No consensus currently exists regarding the optimal approach for peritoneal
dialysis catheter placement. We aimed to compare the outcomes of percutaneous and …

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis is used for renal replacement therapy in over 25,000
patients in the United States. Some authors have recommended laparoscopic guidance for …

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective method of renal replacement therapy for
end-stage renal disease patients. The PD catheter could be inserted by surgical (open …
