Perioperative management - Peritoneal dialysis: Laparoscopic-assisted catheter insertion in CAPD - general and visceral surgery
You have not purchased a license - paywall is active: to the product selection
Indications
- End-stage renal disease with planned peritoneal dialysis
Contraindications
- Patient not suited for peritoneal dialysis
- Abdominal cavity filled with polycystic kidneys
Preoperative diagnostic work-up
- Clinical examination: Abdominal wall hernia? History of abdominal surgery?
- Abdominal ultrasound study: Ruling out malignancies, assessing the size of polycystic kidneys and renal cysts
Special preparation
Sitting position: Mark possible catheter exit sites outside of waistband and skin folds in red
1 week before surgery
- No more heparin or insulin injections into the abdominal wall, thereby sparing the surgical site and reducing the risk of infection
Day before surgery
- Standard preparation for surgery including umbilical care
- Enema the evening before the procedure
- Last meal the evening before surgery
- Preoperative markup with the patient standing and sitting
Since the CAPD is performed by the patient the catheter exit site must be easily visible for him/her. Thus, the exit site must not be located at the level of the waistband (outerwear/underwear), in skin folds or below a pendulous abdomen. Since most patients change the dialysate while sitting, the planned catheter exit site should also be checked before surgery with the patient sitting. The side of the catheter exit site – right or left – should not be specified beforehand because it may depend on possible adhesions discovered during the procedure.
