Superiority of laparoscopy in the peritoneal dialysis catheter reset surgery

Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis catheter surgery has been used in clinical treatment for nearly 40 years, and open surgery under local anesthesia is the conventional method. However, catheter displacement after open surgery is still the thorny issue during our clinical practice. Then the reset surgery is often required to be taken again. Nowadays, laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter draws our attention due to its advantages of accurate positioning, smaller incision, and less pain, and its clinical application has been limited. While laparoscopic surgery is recognized, there are few relevant studies on whether there is difference during the catheter reset process between the two surgical approaches. In this study, we mainly discussed the rate of secondary catheter migration, the incidence of complications after catheter reset for two surgical approaches and the hospital stay as well as the total clinical cost for the two surgical approaches. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 25 cases of end-stage renal disease, who received catheterization for peritoneal dialysis and regular peritoneal dialysis in our hospital from March 2010 to December 2013, and had a medical history of catheter migration. We collected the relevant clinical data for all patients. Fifteen patients selected laparoscopic catheter reset, and 10 patients selected the traditional surgical method for catheter reset by themselves. For all patients enrolled, we analyzed the incidence of secondary catheter migration and postoperative complications, hospitalization time, and total cost for different methods of reset. Through the studies above, we found that laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter surgery offered accurate catheter location and a small incision that was easy to heal. Besides, the incidence of postoperative complications for the laparoscopic surgery was lower than that for traditional surgical approach for catheter reset. The average hospitalization time for laparoscopic surgery was shorter than that for the traditional surgical approach. The total cost of laparoscopic surgery was more than that of the traditional surgery. Therefore, the rational application of a laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter and reset surgery can increase the success rate of peritoneal dialysis, reduce the complications, shorten hospitalization time of patients, and thus enhance patient’s confidence to stick it out.
