According to the literature source of study performed between march 2009 and november 2011, 54 patients underwent pd catheter insertion.The technique used combines and optimizes previously described laparoscopic catheter implantation techniques, allowing increased catheter stability resulting in an undisturbed catheter function suitable for apd (automated peritoneal dialysis).After catheter insertion, pd (peritoneal dialysis) was possible in 53 of 54 patients (98.1 %).Applying stronger functional criteria, in 51 of 54 patients (94.4 %), catheter function would allow an undisturbed catheter function suitable for apd.In three cases where catheter function was considered insufficient for apd, catheter replacement was performed in one patient, while catheter function was adequate for capd in the remaining two patients.Irrespective of primary function, catheter removal was undertaken in four patients during the study period, due to abdominal trauma (one), major abdominal surgery (one) and infection (two).
