Abstract
We describe our technique of microlaparoscopic placement of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheters. Visualization is achieved using a 2.7-mm microlaparoscope, and intra-abdominal manipulation, as well as catheter placement using the Seldinger technique, is accomplished through a single 5-mm port. The advantages of this method include accurate placement of the catheter, minimal patient morbidity, and immediate use of the catheter for peritoneal dialysis.Entities:
