Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis is a safe and effective form of renal-replacement therapy. Its use is increasing as the gap widens between the number of patients waiting for renal transplants and the number of available organs. This article reviews the surgical considerations and complications of peritoneal dialysis that may present to general surgeons.Entities:
