Abstract
The treatment of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD with peritoneal dialysis (PD) continues to increase. Timely initiation of PD is dependent on successful PD catheter placement, which can be performed using open or laparoscopic surgical or percutaneous techniques. Dialysis access surgeons who incorporate PD catheter insertion in their practice can uniquely offer comprehensive access services to their patients. This review discusses the various methods of PD catheter insertion, patient conditions that impact surgical decision-making, and the management of catheter-related complications.
