We herein report the first case of a patient with recurrent migration of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter into the inguinal hernia sac. A 58-year-old man suffered from end-stage renal disease due to polycystic kidney disease (PKD). A year before starting PD, a PD catheter was implanted with stepwise initiation of PD using the Moncrief-Popovich technique. He complained of drain failure and right inguinal swelling during the induction period and was diagnosed with right inguinal hernia. Further examination revealed that the PD catheter tip had migrated into the inguinal hernia sac. Although surgery was planned, the PD catheter tip spontaneously migrated back into the intra-peritoneal space. 14 months later, he noticed fill and drain failure again. Diagnosis was PD catheter dysfunction due to migration into the right inguinal hernia sac. PD was resumed without issues after repositioning of the PD catheter and repair of the inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernia is a frequent complication in PD patients, especially in those with PKD. Early diagnosis and treatment of hernia should be considered in PD patients.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP), a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering skin disease, has been described in end-stage renal disease patients requiring dialysis after the placement of an artero-venous fistula. We report a case of a novel onset of BP following a peritoneal dialysis abdominal Tenckhoff catheter placement. The 3-month treatment with systemic doxycycline and topical clobetasol propionate allowed a rapid disappearing of the blisters and left the patient free of symptoms in the follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first case describing a new BP onset after a peritoneal dialysis catheter placement.

Abstract The ability to visualize intraluminal surface of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter and peritoneal cavity could allow elucidation of the cases of outflow problems, and provide information on changes to the peritoneal membrane leading to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. A non-invasive examination that allows those monitoring in need is desirable. We have developed a disposable ultra-fine endoscope that can be inserted into the lumen of the existing PD catheter, allowing observation of the luminal side of the catheter and peritoneal cavity from the tip of the PD catheter, with minimum invasion in practice. In a pre-clinical study in pigs and a clinical study in 10 PD patients, the device provided detailed images, enabling safe, easy observation of the intraluminal side of the entire catheter, and of the morphology and status of the peritoneal surface in the abdominal cavity under dwelling PD solution. Since this device can be used repeatedly during PD therapy, clinical application of this device could contribute to improved management of clinical issues in current PD therapy, positioning PD as a safer, more reliable treatment modality for end-stage renal disease.

Peritoneal dialysis has become an effective and widely used technique for the treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease. Peritoneal dialysis has become more practical for use in pediatric patients since equipment and techniques have been adapted for smaller patients. In the present work we describe the surgical technique that we currently use at our institution for surgical placement of peritoneal dialysis catheter. From January 1985 to January 1992, 19 peritoneal catheters were placed in 17 children, at the Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital. At the time of catheter insertion the average weight of the children was 14.2 kg., and the average age was 4 y. 10m. Peritoneal dialysis catheters were always placed under sterile conditions, in an operating room or in a pediatric ICU, with surgical technique. Regarding our surgical technique we recommend: 1) to use Tenckhoff catheter, 2 cuffs pigtail (curled) type; 2) to perform a minilaparatomy with lateral surgical approach and a routine omentectomy; 3) to create a submuscular tunnel (rectus abdominis) to reduce the leakaqe of peritoneal dialysis fluid. Furthermore the various clinical problems encountered in our experience and some surgical guidelines for the prevention of complications are reviewed.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an excellent form of renal replacement therapy for many patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Over 10,000 patients receive PD in the United States [United States Renal Data System: 2015 USRDS Annual Data Report: Epidemiology of Kidney Disease in the United States, 2015]. PD has superior outcomes compared to hemodialysis in the first 2 years of ESRD [Sinnakirouchenan and Holley: Adv Chronic Kidney Dis 2011;18: 428–432]. However, peritonitis is a known complication and may result in significant morbidity and necessitate transition to hemodialysis, which increases medical costs [Holley and Piraino: Semin Dial 1990;3: 245–248]. We report the first case of a PD patient who underwent endoscopy, colonoscopy and CT angiogram with coil embolization for gastrointestinal bleeding without antibiotic prophylaxis and subsequently developed CDC group EO-4 organism and fungal peritonitis.

Background We report here a one-stitch fixation method that prevents catheter tip migration during implantation of the double-cuffed straight Tenckhoff catheter. Methods From July 2003 to September 2005, 38 patients with end-stage renal disease underwent implantation of the double-cuff straight Tenckhoff catheter for peritoneal dialysis by this method. Results No patient had catheter tip migration out of the true pelvis. No patient had pericatheter dialysate leakage or developed incisional hernia. Two patients (5.3%) experienced exit-site infection during the 2- and 5-month follow-up and they recovered well after wound care. Three patients (7.9%) developed peritonitis during the 3-day and 2- and 6-month follow-up; the conditions were controlled after antibiotic care. One patient (2.6%) experienced mechanical catheter obstruction during the 10-day follow-up due to omental wrapping; surgical revision was necessitated. Conclusions We believe that the method is an easy, safe, and effective technique for preventing catheter tip migration.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a modality frequently preferred by patients for the management of their end-stage kidney disease; however, a major factor in its success is PD catheter placement and subsequent function. Optimal placement of PD catheters is generally accepted to be in the true pelvis, for this reason, many patients who are found to have a pelvic cavity obliterated by adhesions are often denied the opportunity to do PD. We report on four cases of an alternative advanced laparoscopic technique used in patients with inaccessible pelvic cavities, with three catheter placements in the intraperitoneal left iliac fossa/paracolic gutter and one case in the right paracolic gutter with subsequent good outcomes. This report suggests that a ‘frozen pelvis’ is not a contraindication to successful PD, with alternative catheter tip placement in the iliac fossa.

♦ObjectivesWe aimed to prospectively compare the incidence of catheter-related complications and catheter survival for straight (SCs) and coiled (CCs) Tenckhoff catheters in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.♦MethodsThis open prospective randomized trial recruited 189 PD patients with end-stage renal disease from the department of nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 6 November 2007 to 27 August 2008. The patients were randomized to a SC ( n = 99) or a CC ( n = 90) and were then followed for 2 years. All catheter placements were performed by two designated experienced nephrologists who used a standardized institutional placement protocol. The primary study outcomes were catheter-related complications and catheter survival at 1 and 2 years.♦ResultsWe observed no significant differences in clinical and demographic characteristics between the groups at baseline. The overall incidence of catheter dysfunction was higher in the CC group than in the SC group (17.8% vs 7.1%, p = 0.03), and most of the events occurred 4 weeks or more after the catheters were implanted. Catheter tip migration and omental wrapping were the most common causes of catheter dysfunction. Surgical catheter rescue was more common in patients with CCs than in patients with SCs (9 vs 3 patients respectively, p = 0.05). No significant differences were observed in other catheter-related complications, including dialysate leaks, hernias, and PD-related infections (peritonitis, exit-site, and tunnel infections). Catheter survival rates in the SC and CC groups were similar at 1 year (96.7% ± 1.9% vs 96.5% ± 2.0%, p = 0.98) and at 2 years (95.3% ± 2.3% vs 92.4% ± 3.6%, p = 0.76).♦ConclusionsThe incidence of PD catheter–related complications is probably higher with CCs than with SCs. The results of our study suggest that a SC is the better option to reduce subsequent catheter complications.

BackgroundPeritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter surgery can be performed using regional anesthesia. We present our PD catheter placement and extraction experience using ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block.MethodsIn the present study, we analyzed 74 patients from our center with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent PD catheter placement (60 patients) and removal (14 patients) using a TAP block between June 2011 and December 2015.ResultsThe TAP block was successful for 55/60 (91.7%) patients (insertion) and 13/14 (92.9%) patients (extraction). Other patients had pain at the incision site and required general anesthesia. There were no anesthesia-, surgery- or PD catheter-related complications.ConclusionThe TAP block is a safe and effective technique not only for high-risk ESRD patients but for all patients undergoing PD catheter placement or extraction.
