Abstract
A technique of “double fixation” for placement of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters is described. It combines selective omentopexy with routine pelvic fixation of the catheter. We present specific criteria for omentopexy, which was performed in 18% of the 50 patients in our study. Follow-up focused on mechanical failure of the catheters, which occurred in eight patients. In all eight, laparoscopic revision was performed, with successful return of catheter function in four.
