<b><i>Background:</i></b> The optimal technique for inserting peritoneal dialysis catheters in uremic patients remains debated. This meta-analysis aimed to summarize the current evidence evaluating the efficacy and safety of percutaneous insertion methods compared to surgical methods. <b><i>Method:</i></b> A literature search was performed in the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. The primary outcome was defined as catheter survival. The secondary outcomes were mechanical and infectious complications related to catheter insertion. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Twenty studies were finally identified, including 2 randomized controlled trials. The pooled results of catheter survival, overall mechanical complications, and infectious complications were not significant (odds ratio [OR] = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.76–1.57, <i>p</i> = 0.62; OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.48–1.11, <i>p</i> = 0.14; and OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.37–1.09, <i>p</i> = 0.14, respectively). Comparison stratified by the blind percutaneous method versus open surgery indicated a lower overall number of mechanical complications (OR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.31–0.93, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 72%) and malposition rate (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.34–0.90, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%). The leakage rate was higher in the blind percutaneous group than in the open surgery group (OR = 2.55, 95% CI = 1.72–3.79, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%); the guided percutaneous method achieved a similar leakage risk to the surgical methods. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The blind percutaneous method performed better with fewer overall mechanical complications and less malposition than open surgery. The leakage risk was higher in the blind percutaneous group, while the guided percutaneous placement group showed similar outcomes to the surgical method groups. Percutaneous methods also had a lower infection risk, which needs further evidence to be confirmed.

Objective To determine the natural history of a surgically placed Tenckhoff catheter in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Design Prospective 7–year study analyzing catheter survival of all catheters using the Kaplan-Meier life table methodology. Setting Teaching hospital, department of nephrology. Patients One hundred and fifteen unselected patients beginning CAPD. Interventions Removal of the catheter required for the following complications: exit-site or tunnel infections or relapsing peritonitis, outflow obstruction, pericatheter leak, and development of hernias. Main Outcome Measures Period between insertion and removal of the catheter. Results The cumulative survival of all catheters after 1,2, and 3 years of CAPD was 87%, 69% and 65%. Catheter survival of the first versus the second catheter after 1 year was significantly longer (p=0.03). The difference was not significant in relation to diabetes, age, and sex. Infectious complications caused 61% (n=19) of all 31 catheter failures, mainly due to tunnel infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (n=12). “Mechanical” complications accounted for 49% (n=12) of catheter failures. Eight of 12 mechanical complications were outflow failures. Seven patients had to be transferred to hemodialysis. Conclusions The straight Tenckhoff catheter is a reliable peritoneal access device for CAPD in an unselected patient population.

BackgroundThe optimal methodology of establishing access for peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains controversial. Previously published randomized controlled trials and cohort studies do not demonstrate an advantage for 1 technique over another. Four published meta-analyses comparing outcomes of laparoscopic versus open PD catheter (PDC) insertion have given inconsistent conclusions and are flawed since they group basic and advanced laparoscopy together. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine whether advanced laparoscopic interventions consisting of rectus sheath tunneling and adjunctive procedures produce a better outcome than open insertion or basic laparoscopy used only to verify the catheter position.MethodsA literature search using Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Database was performed, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3.5 software (Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, London, UK). Outcomes evaluated incidence of catheter obstruction, migration, pericannular leak, hernia, infectious complications (peritonitis and exit-site infection) and catheter survival.ResultsOf the 467 records identified, 7 cohort studies, including 1,045 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. When advanced laparoscopy was compared with open insertion, a significant reduction was observed in the incidence of catheter obstruction (odds ratio [OR] 0.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03 – 0.63; p = 0.01), catheter migration (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.06 – 0.26; p = 0.00001), pericannular leak (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.11 – 0.64; p = 0.003), and pericannular and incisional hernias (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.09 – 0.94; p = 0.04), as well as better 1- and 2-year catheter survival (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.28 – 0.97; p = 0.04 and OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.28 – 0.92; p = 0.03, respectively). Compared with basic laparoscopy, catheter obstruction and migration were significantly lower in the advanced laparoscopic group, whereas catheter survival was similar in both groups. All outcomes, except catheter obstruction, were similar between the basic laparoscopy and open insertion. The infectious complications such as peritonitis and exit-site infections were similar between the 3 groups.ConclusionsAdvanced laparoscopy was associated with a significant superior outcome in comparison with open insertion and basic laparoscopy.

Objective: To assess the recurrence of PD catheter migration after the introduction of a walnut ballast. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study from 1999 to 2014 of PD patients followed in Limousin. Were compared two groups: ballast group (patients who benefited from the establishment of stainless steel ballast at the intraperitoneal catheter extremity) with 26 patients and control group with 204 patients. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of an episode catheter’s migration after ballast’s establishment. Secondary objectives were (i) to determine the causal factors leading to the catheter weighting, (ii) to ensure the safety of the procedure on the following criteria: infectious complications, mechanicals complications, epurations criteria, and catheter’s survival. Results: More than one year after the implementation of the ballast, no recurrent migration was observed in 86.6% of cases. It wasn’t found an increased risk of infections (OR = 0.5, 95% CI [0.22, 1.13]) or mechanical complications (OR = 1.77- 95% CI [0.77, 4.05]) between the two groups. The adequation criteria were similar: KT / V total : 2.37 in the control group and 2.28 in the ballast group (p = 0.63). The survival of the ballast catheter was comparable among the two groups (p = 0.983). Three causal factors that led to the ballast were identified: automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) (OR = 0.38, 95% CI [0.16, 0.9]), the failure from the first use of the catheter (OR = 19.48, CI 95 % [7.67, 49.48]) and the incarceration of the omentum (OR = 15.84, 95% CI [5.81, 43.21]). Conclusion: The ballast used in these study appears to prevent recurrence of migration, without any impact in terms of infectious or mechanical complications, or on the dialysis criteria or on catheter’s survival. However this catheter does currently not have an EC authorization

This study aimed to assess current evidence regarding the effect of selenium (Se) supplementation on the prognosis in patients sustaining trauma. MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched with the following terms: “trace element”, “selenium”, “copper”, “zinc”, “injury”, and “trauma”. Seven studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that Se supplementation was associated with a lower mortality rate (OR 0.733, 95% CI: 0.586, 0.918, p = 0.007; heterogeneity, I2 = 0%). Regarding the incidence of infectious complications, there was no statistically significant benefit after analyzing the four studies (OR 0.942, 95% CI: 0.695, 1.277, p = 0.702; heterogeneity, I2 = 14.343%). The patients with Se supplementation had a reduced ICU length of stay (standard difference in means (SMD): −0.324, 95% CI: −0.382, −0.265, p < 0.001; heterogeneity, I2 = 0%) and lesser hospital length of stay (SMD: −0.243, 95% CI: −0.474, −0.012, p < 0.001; heterogeneity, I2 = 45.496%). Se supplementation after trauma confers positive effects in decreasing the mortality and length of ICU and hospital stay.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The best timing of peritoneal dialysis (PD) initiation after catheter implantation is still controversial. It is necessary to explore whether there exists a waiting period to minimize the risk of complications. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A systematic review and meta-analysis were searched in multiple electronic databases published from inception to February 29, 2020, to identify cohort studies for evaluating the outcome and safety of unplanned-start PD (&#x3c;14 days after catheter insertion). Risks of bias across studies were evaluated using Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Fourteen cohort studies with a total of 2,401 patients were enrolled. We found that early-start PD was associated with higher prevalence of leaks (RR: 2.67, 95% CI, 1.55–4.61) and omental wrap (RR: 3.28, 95% CI, 1.14–9.39). Furthermore, patients of unplanned-start PD in APD group have higher risk of leaks, while those in CAPD group have a higher risk of leaks, omental wrap, and catheter malposition. In shorter break-in period (BI) group, the risk of suffering from catheter obstruction and malposition was higher for patients who started dialysis within 7 days after the surgery than for patients within 7–14 days. No significant differences were found in peritonitis (RR: 1.00; 95% CI, 0.78–1.27) and exit-site infections (RR: 1.12; 95% CI, 0.72–1.75). However, shorter BI was associated with higher risk of mortality and transition to hemodialysis (HD) while worsen early technical survival, with pooled RR of 2.14 (95% CI, 1.52–3.02), 1.42 (95% CI, 1.09–1.85) and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.92–0.99), respectively. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Evidence suggests that patients receiving unplanned-start PD may have higher risks of mechanical complications, transition to HD, and even mortality rate while worsening early technical survival, which may not be associated with infectious complications. Rigorous studies are required to be performed.

Many patients tolerate peritoneal dialysis well and experience little difficulty with the process. There are, however, a number of unique complications that can arise in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis. While infection remains a significant concern, there are also many non-infectious problems that can occur. Many mechanical complications occur as a result of the increased intra-abdominal pressure associated with the instillation of fluid into the peritoneal cavity. The dialysate solution itself may also play a role in some of the metabolic complications seen. An awareness of the potential problems that can occur will help the clinician in properly caring for a patient on this therapy and this chapter describes a range of non-infectious complications that may arise.

Background and purpose: Surgery is recommended as the treatment of choice for hemorrhagic Moyamoya disease (MMD). The rationale of surgery and the choice of procedure are poorly understood. The aim of this paper is to present latest evidence, from cellular, biomechanical and population data, surgical treatment options and their effect on the outcome of hemorrhagic MMD. Methods: We systematically reviewed the latest evidence from cellular, biomechanical and populational studies including our own meta-analysis for rationalization of management of MMD. We searched major databases from inception to latest articles available till October 2018. All major breakthroughs including basic research to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and human case–control studies related to hemorrhagic MMD were included. Our meta-analysis was performed in accordance to the standard Cochrane. Result: Evidence at cellular, biomechanical and RCT levels was presented. For our meta-analysis, we included eight studies, totaling at 632 patients. Our results rationalized the use of surgical methods in support of surgical management of MMD. We showed that surgery in MMD resulted in a significant lower risk of future stroke ([Formula: see text], 95% [Formula: see text]–0.38). Among different surgical methods, the indirect bypass group had a lower risk for sedentary stroke risk reduction compared with the direct bypass group (RR[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]3.36, 95% CI[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]1.53–7.36). No significant differences were observed in perioperative complications between the two methods. Conclusion: Surgery remains a mainstay for the management of MMD. We concluded that current evidence in biomechanical and our own meta-analysis is in support of surgery being an effective management of hemorrhagic MMD. We deduced insights into research for early detection, characterization and follow up of patients with MMD.

Objective To examine the impact of peritoneal catheter configuration on mechanical complications, catheter survival, probability of episodes of peritonitis, and probability of exit-site infections associated with the use of catheters for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Design Prospective randomized trial. Setting CAPD unit in one university hospital. Patients Forty consecutive patients requiring a dialysis catheter for future CAPD were randomized to receive either a single-cuff straight Tenckhoff catheter or a permanently bent single-cuff Swan neck catheter. The skin exit was upward-directed in the Tenckhoff group and downward-directed in the Swan neck group. Results Dialysate leak occurred in one patient and symptomatic catheter tip migration in 3 patients with the Tenckhoff catheter but in none with the single-cuff Swan neckcatheter(p=O.5, p=0.12). No significant differences in catheter survival at 2 years, probability of episodes of peritonitis, or probability of exit-site infections could be demonstrated. Conclusion Catheter configuration did not influence the catheter-related mechanical or infectious complications. We were unable to demonstrate any advantage of the newer, permanently bent single-cuff Swan neck catheter over the conventional straight type.
