The Seldinger technique offers a safe, simple, and cost-effective method for chronic peritoneal dialysis catheter placement in low-risk patients. This approach demonstrates comparable one-year catheter survival rates to traditional surgical methods.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Chronic peritoneal dialysis is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
  • Traditional surgical placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters can be invasive and costly.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to improve patient tolerance and reduce healthcare expenses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Seldinger technique for chronic peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion.
  • To compare the Seldinger technique with traditional laparotomy placement in terms of safety, tolerability, and cost.
  • To assess the one-year catheter survival rate using the Seldinger technique.

Main Methods:

  • The Seldinger technique was employed for chronic peritoneal dialysis catheter placement.

  • Strict adherence to patient selection criteria for low-risk individuals was maintained.
  • A straight Tenckhoff catheter with a single subcutaneous cuff was utilized.

    • Main Results:

    • The Seldinger technique proved to be a safe and simple procedure for catheter placement.
    • The method was generally better tolerated by patients compared to laparotomy.
    • The procedure is likely to be less costly than traditional surgical placement.
    • One-year catheter survival rates were comparable to multicenter data from The National CAPD Registry.

    Conclusions:

    • The Seldinger technique is a viable and advantageous alternative for chronic peritoneal dialysis catheter placement in selected low-risk patients.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers comparable outcomes to surgical methods with potential benefits in cost and patient experience.
    • Further adoption of the Seldinger technique could optimize peritoneal dialysis program efficiency.
