<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> A well-functioning peritoneal catheter is key to success of peritoneal dialysis (PD). The Vicenza “short” catheter is a modified Tenckhoff catheter with a shorter intraperitoneal segment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of catheter-related complications and catheter survival rate using the Vicenza “short” catheter, according to the goals suggested by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guidelines. Second, we compared insertion techniques used in our center. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This is a retrospective cohort, single-center study analyzing incident PD patients undergoing Vicenza “short” peritoneal catheter placement between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. As clinical outcomes, we evaluated catheter patency at 12 months, exit-site/tunnel infection and peritonitis within 30 days of catheter insertion, visceral injury, or significant hemorrhage during the procedure, in accordance with ISPD guidelines. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The percentage of patency at 12 months for all catheter insertion methods was 88.91%, and the percentage for laparoscopic placement was 93.75%. The exit-site/tunnel infection and peritonitis occurring within 30 days of catheter insertion were, respectively, 0.75% and 2.2%; the visceral injury leading to intervention was 0.75%. We did not have any case of significant hemorrhage. All results were in line with ISPD guidelines. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We conclude that the Vicenza “short” catheter is a suitable device for peritoneal access. The implantation procedure is safe and easy to perform, and both nephrologists and surgeons can do it. A confident use and a proper implantation of the Vicenza “short” catheter help achieve the clinical ISPD goals for the PD access procedure in terms of catheter survival and complication rates.

Abstract Background. A large body mass index (BMI) has been considered as a relative contraindication for percutaneous catheter insertion , although this technique has many advantages. Up to now, there are few studies on peritoneal catheter placement and obesity. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with large BMI can also choose the percutaneous technique for peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion. Methods. 187 consecutive patients underwent peritoneal catheter insertions in the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016, with 178 eligible cases being included in the analysis. Two groups were created based on the catheter insertion techniques, the percutaneous group (group P) and the surgical group (group S). Subgroups were created according to BMI>28 or≤28. The outcomes included catheter related complications and catheter survival. Results. Total infectious complication rates were significantly lower in group P than in group S. The late peritonitis rates tended to be lower in group P than in group S, although the difference was not significant. There were no significant differences in all other measured complications between the two groups. Though the one-year infection-free catheter survival in group P was 7.5% higher than group S, the difference was not significant. The one-year dysfunction-free catheter survival, one-year dysfunction-and-infection-free catheter survival, and overall catheter survival were similar between the two groups. Subgroup analyses showed a superior one-year infection-free catheter survival of percutaneous technique in patients with BMI>28, which was confirmed by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Conclusions. Despite the challenges that may be encountered with patients who have a large BMI, the percutaneous technique is a safe and effective approach to placing a peritoneal dialysis catheter.

Objective To compare laparoscopic and conventional peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion with respect to post operative discomfort, complication rates, and catheter survival. Design Randomized prospective study. Setting Tertiary referral renal unit. Patients Fifty patients commencing peritoneal dialysis. Intervention Catheters were implanted laparoscopically or by a conventional surgical technique. Main Outcome Measures The duration of surgery, hospital stay, pain scores, and analgesic requirements were recorded. Complications (early/late) and catheter survival were compared. Results The conventional procedure was faster than the laparoscopic (14.3 vs 21.9 minutes, p < 0.0001). There was no difference in any other parameter assessed. Conclusions The data suggest that the insertion techniques are equivalent, and that laparoscopic insertion does not reduce early complication rates.

Prior Surgery

Adhesions from previous surgery and peritonitis can lead to peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion failure, visceral injury, and poor dialysis function. Employing a laparoscopic approach, the effect of adhesiolysis on mechanical catheter complications and long-term catheter survival was prospectively examined in 436 catheter placement procedures having a 57.8 per cent prevalence rate of previous surgery. Adhesiolysis was required in 31.8 per cent of cases with prior surgery and in 3.3 per cent of procedures without previous operations. The incidence of adhesiolysis was directly related to the number of prior surgeries ( P < 0.0001). The incidence of catheter insertion failure from extensive adhesions was 1.8 per cent. Survival probability free from catheter obstruction was lower in patients requiring adhesiolysis compared with subjects with prior surgery not requiring adhesiolysis ( P = 0.01). Laparoscopic rescue procedures limited catheter losses from flow obstruction to only 0.7 per cent. As a result, long-term catheter survival was not different among patients regardless of prior surgery and/or adhesion status ( P = 0.2). Scars on the abdomen and prior peritonitis do not predict the extent of adhesions and should not be used to judge eligibility for peritoneal dialysis. Presently, laparoscopy is the only practical way to provide optimal peritoneal access in patients with a history of surgery and peritonitis.

During the period 1986–1991, 140 pediatric patients [age≤15 years at the start of chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD)], belonging to 15 dialysis centers, were enrolled In the Italian Registry of Pediatric Chronic Peritoneal Dlaly 515. Data on 188 peritoneal catheters were collected: 161 catheters were Tenckhoff (144 double-cuff, 17 singlecuff), and 27 were two-cuff Valll-type catheters. All catheters were surgically inserted; the entry site was in the midline In 84 cases and paramedian in 104. An omentectomy was performed in 78.80/0 of the cases. Apart from peritonitis, there were 161 catheter-related complications (103 exit-site infections, 17 leakages, 15 obstructions, 15 outer-cuff extrusions, 5 hemoperltoneum, 6 others) observed during 2687.5 dialysis-months, with an Incidence of one complication every 16.7 dialysis months. Fifty-five catheters (29.2%) were removed; infection (39 cases) was the main cause for removal, followed by obstruction (9 cases), dislocation, and outer-cuff extrusion (2 cases each). Actuarial survival of all catheters was 79.7% at 1 year, 66.6% at 2 years, 42.8% at 3 years, and 39.80/0 at 4 years. No difference In catheter survival was observed according to the entry site. When considering the age of the patients at catheter insertion, a difference close to statistical significance was found (p=0.06).

Real Chance

The peritoneal catheter should be a permanent and safe access to the peritoneal cavity. Catheter-related problems are often the cause of permanent transfer to hemodialysis (HD) in up to 20% of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients; in some cases, these problems require a temporary period on HD. Advances in connectology have reduced the incidence of peritonitis, and so catheter-related complications during PD have become a major concern. In the last few years, novel techniques have emerged in the field of PD: new dialysis solutions, better connectology, and cyclers for automated PD. However, extracorporeal dialysis has continued to improve in terms of methods and patient survival, but PD has failed to do so. The main reason is that peritoneal access has remained problematical. The peritoneal catheter is the major obstacle to widespread use of PD. Overcoming catheter-related problems means giving a real chance to development of the peritoneal technique. Catheters should be as efficient, safe, and acceptable as possible. Since its introduction in the mid-1960s, the Tenckhoff catheter has not become obsolete: dozens of new models have been proposed, but none has significantly reduced the predominance of the first catheter. No convincing prospective data demonstrate the superiority of any peritoneal catheter, and so it seems that factors other than choice of catheter are what affect survival and complication rates. Efforts to improve peritoneal catheter survival and complication rates should probably focus on factors other than the choice of catheter. The present article provides an overview of the characteristics of the best-known peritoneal catheters.

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, serving a population of 1.2 million. Patients Forty consecutive patients requiring their first dialysis catheter for future CAPD were randomized to receive either a two-cuff permanently bent Swan neck catheter or a two-cuff straight Tenckhoff catheter. The skin exit was downward-directed in the Swan neck group and upward-directed in the Tenckhoff group. Results Dialysate leak, catheter migration, or tunnel infection did not occur in any of the patients. Three outer cuff extrusions needing cuff shaving occurred, all in the Tenckhoffgroup(p =0.1). No significant differences could be demonstrated in catheter survival at 2 years, probability of episodes of peritonitis, or probability of exit-site infections. Conclusion Catheter configuration did not influence the catheter-related mechanical or infectious complications, and equally good results were obtained with both catheter types studied.

Objective To analyze the data from 347 peritoneal catheters implanted in 249 pediatric patients aged ≤ 15 years at start of chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD). Design Restrospective study of the data collected between 1986 and 1995, in 20 dialysis centers, from the Italian Registry of Pediatric Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis. Data collection for each pediatric catheter included: catheter type, site and technique of insertion, complications, duration, and reason for removal or replacement. Results Fifty catheters were inserted in patients under 2 years of age, 50 in patients aged 2 5 years and 247 in patients over 5 years of age. Catheter types included 307 (88.5%) Tenckhoff (286 double cuff, 21 single cuff) and 40 (11.5%), double-cuff, Valli-type catheters. All catheters were surgically implanted and omentectomy was performed in 83.5% of cases; the entry-site was in the midline in 136 cases (39.2%) and paramedian in 211 (60.8%). During 6076 CPD months we observed 274 catheter related complications: 182 catheter infections (exit-site and/or tunnel infection), 23 leakages, 19 obstructions, 19 cuff-extrusions, 14 dislocations, 6 hemoperitoneum, 10 other (incidence of one complication every 21.8 dialysis months). A significant reduction of catheter-related complications occurred in the last five years, compared with the first 5 years. One hundred and six catheters were removed due to catheter-related causes: infection (83 cases), obstruction (11), dislocation (4), outer-cuff extrusion (3), leakage (2), bowel incarceration (2), and bowel infarction (1). Catheter survival was 72.2% at 12 months, 52.3% at 24 months, 32.8% at 36 months, and 25.7% at 48 months. Significantly lower catheter survival was found in younger children (0 2 years) compared with two other age groups (2 5 years, and > 5 years). No significant correlation was found between catheter survival and catheter entry-site (midline vs paramedian). Conclusions Catheter-related infections were confirmed to be the most common complication and most frequent cause of peritoneal catheter removal. In addition, catheter survival rate was worse in younger children, indicating that more effort should be made to improve peritoneal catheter survival particularly in this age group.

The placement of percutaneous peritoneal dialysis catheters under direct peritoneoscopic visualization is a relatively new technique for establishing peritoneal dialysis access. In this study, in which a modification of the Seldinger technique was used to facilitate the placement of the peritoneoscope, the experience with 82 consecutive catheterization procedures in 78 patients is reported. In 2 (2.4%) of 82 catheterization procedures, we were unable to enter the peritoneal cavity but experienced no other complications unique to the percutaneous approach. Of the 80 successful catheterization procedures, 76 represented first-time catheter placement and constituted a population subjected to life-table analysis examining catheter survival rates, the time to first cutaneous exit site or s.c. tunnel infection, and the time to first episode of peritonitis. After a follow-up period of 50.1 patient yr, 11 catheters were lost because of catheter dysfunction. Other clinical complications included peritoneal fluid leaks at the cutaneous exit site in 11 instances (0.22/patient yr), cutaneous exit site infection in 7 instances (0.14/patient yr), s.c. tunnel infection in 2 instances (0.04/patient yr), and 34 episodes of peritonitis (0.68/patient yr). The results of this study demonstrate that the suggested modification of the percutaneous placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters, under peritoneoscopic visualization, is a viable method for establishing peritoneal access.

Fungal infection is an extremely rare etiology of exit-site and tunnel infection in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). There are few data available regarding its management—especially choice of antifungals, duration of therapy, and removal of catheter. There are no guidelines pertaining to reinsertion of the CAPD catheter following fungal exit-site and tunnel infection. This case report highlights Candida albicans as a rare cause of exit-site and tunnel infection of the CAPD catheter. The catheter was removed and the patient received appropriate antifungal therapy followed by reinsertion of the CAPD catheter and re-initiation on CAPD.
