Abstract

We describe a laparoscopic two-puncture technique for the placement of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter. With a mean follow-up period of 8 months the short-term results of the first 19 laparoscopic catheter insertions are evaluated and discussed. It appears to be a simple, safe, and viable procedure with a low morbidity and very good results in the short term. The same technique can also be used in catheter salvage in case of outflow obstruction or catheter migration, thus increasing catheter longevity.
