COMPARING THE OUTCOMES OF OPEN SURGICAL PROCEDURE AND PERCUTANEOUSLY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CATHETER (PDC) INSERTION USING LAPAROSCOPIC NEEDLE: A TWO MONTH FOLLOW-UP STUDY

摘要

BACKGROUND: This study was performed to compare the outcomes of open surgical procedure and percutaneously peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) insertion using laparoscopic needle.METHODS: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted in the Nephrology Department in Noor Hospital, Isfahan, Iran between 2009 and 2010.64 uremic patients were randomized into two study groups using random allocation software.Thirty four catheters were inserted percutaneously (P group) and 30 catheters were placed surgically (S group).Collected information included demographic data, body mass index, and cause of renal disease, duration of operation and length of hospitalization. Outcomes were considered as mechanical and infectious complications.RESULTS: There were no significant differences in age, gender, the mean of body mass index, having history of hemodialysis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and length of hospitalization. Hemopenitoneom was more frequent in S group than P group (13.3% versus 3.2%; pCONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous catheter insertion has fewer rate of complications and is less time consuming in comparison with surgical method.
