A multi-institutional observational study on the outcomes after catheter placement for peritoneal dialysis - Outcomes after peritoneal dialysis catheter placement

Postoperatively, no major bleeding requiring blood transfusion or surgical intervention was observed, and intestinal perforation was observed in 2 patients (0.5%). Of the 420 patients who had the exit site, 34 (8.1%) had exit site and tunnel infection within 30 days, and 7 (1.7%) had peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis. The 1-year catheter survival rate without catheter removal, replacement, or any surgical or radiological intervention for catheter malfunction or irreparable drainage pain was 93.7%.
