Technique for implantation of the Toronto-Western catheter at the Booth Memorial Medical Center. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The proper placement of the chronic peritoneal dialysis catheter is pivital to the early, as well as continued success of dialysis therapy with Continued Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis. We describe our current technique for the implantation of the Toronto-Western catheter. The success of any particular technique is dependent upon the incidence of complications. The latter is described elsewhere in this symposium.
