Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion With Musculofascial Tunnelling Reduces Catheter Migration-Observational Retrospective Cohort Study.

Key Points

• 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
