MODIFIED SIMPLE PERITONEAL WALL ANCHOR TECHNIQUE (PWAT) IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

摘要

Background: Outflow obstruction, a common complication in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD), usually results in unnecessary catheter removal or replacement. This study describes a modified simple method of anchoring a PD catheter on the anterior peritoneal wall without using a laparoscopic system (peritoneal wall anchor technique, PWAT).
