One-way obstruction during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with Tenckhoff catheter. Management by a
Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is an important method of maintenance therapy for chronic uraemic patients. Dislodgement of the dialysis catheter and the consequent one-way obstruction is a serious complication that may indicate removal of the catheter altogether. We report here on a simple operation by which we have avoided catheter removal and thus interruption of CAPD.
