Abstract:

Objective To compare the effecacy of pull and surgical technique for removal of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 88 patients undergone PD catheter removal admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University during the past decade (2011-2020). intra-operative and post-operative were performed on the two groups which comprised 39 (pull technique) and 49 (surgical technique) patients. The tension test of the catheter in pull technique group was conducted to explore resistance of PD catheter. Results In comparative trials, operating duration, pain score and proportion of patients with blood loss than 10 ml of pull technique patients were less than those of surgical technique patients (P<0.05); Similar infection rate was found between groups; decreased fracture (pull) in PD catheter was in opposite to its life extension. Conclusion Pull technique for PD catheter is convenient and safe then worthy of promotion.
