Feasibility and Safety of Laparoscopic Placement of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Using Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Device

Abstract

We developed a novel technique of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement using an existing device originally utilized to insert a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. We investigated the feasibility and safety of the procedure. This study included 21 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic placement of PD catheter between August 2021 and December 2021. We retrospectively investigated the clinical variables and perioperative results. The laparoscopic procedure was successfully performed in all patients. The duration of surgery was 21 (18-37) minutes. All patients could start PD within the seventh postoperative day. However, 1 patient had peri-catheter leakage due to exit-site infection. There were no patients with catheter migration, catheter obstruction, peritonitis, procedure-related death, and withdrawal of PD. The laparoscopic placement PD catheter using percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy device was feasible and safe. (128 words)
