The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of musculofascial tunnelling in reducing catheter migration during peritoneal dialysis.
Conducted an observational retrospective cohort study
Analyzed outcomes of catheter insertion techniques
Compared catheter migration rates for standard and tunnelling methods
Catheter migration rates were significantly lower in the tunnelling group
Observed low complication rates associated with the technique
Abstract
Incorporating musculofascial tunnelling technique into percutaneous peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion reduces catheter migration. This technique is safe with low rates of complications.
