Evidence - Peritoneal dialysis: Laparoscopic-assisted catheter insertion in CAPD

  1. Literature summary

    Comparison of “open surgery” and laparoscopic insertion technique

    A prospective randomized clinical trial with 148 patients (72 with open surgery, 76 with laparoscopy) studied the complication rate and service life during a follow-up period of 3 years.

    Early complications (all): open 33.3% < > lap. 13,2%

    • Peritonitis 12.5% < > 2.6%
    • Catheter malfunction 8.3% < > 7,9%
    • Leakage 11.1% < > 1.3%
    • Colon perforation none < > 1.3%
    • Bladder perforation 1.4% < > none

    Late complications (all): open 61.1% < > lap. 57.9%

    • Infections 48.6% < > 48.7%
    • Catheter malfunction 11.1% < > 7,9%
    • Hernia 1.4% < > 1.3%
    • Catheter failure 55.2% < > 32.8%

    Catheter service life

    • after 12 months: open 62% < > lap. 77.5%
    • after 36 months: open 26% < > lap. 63%
