The objective of this study is to access the operation-related data and complications of catheter placement for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, Then to determine the better method for catheter insertion.
9 Many interventions have been developed to reduce the incidence of phlebitis, including new catheter materials, 10 11 innovative methods for securing the catheter, 12 13 and heparinised catheters.
Thus, although the semiquantitative catheter segment culture is one of the least expensive tests for a clinical microbiology laboratory to perform and the most frequently used method in hospital laboratories, quantitative culture methods should be preferred for catheter tip culture.

Incorporating long-acting pain relief from a continuous peripheral nerve block, with a reliable method of catheter insertion, and a self-contained infusion system would be a valuable asset for short-stay care.
Various different methods for removal of knotted catheters have been reported.
Subjects were prepared for catheter insertion by standard methods of disinfecting an IJV entry site.
Herein, we present a novel method for controlling the catheter system and a new ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) catheter design.
Previous studies have attempted to assess the reasons for this high failure rate, highlighting technical aspects of procedure performance such as insertion technique, method for securing the catheter and choice of drug administered [ 9, 10].
As shown in Figure 1, the search strategy identified four randomized controlled trials [ 3- 6] and ten observational studies [ 7- 16] that compared the results of laparoscopic to open surgical method for peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation.
