Effective peritoneal access is essential for successful peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Historically, catheter placement by nephrologists has not been linked to major complications. However, the choice of percutaneous techniques may vary across centers based on experience. This study investigates complication rates and survival associated with two placement techniques: the commonly used trocar technique (TT) and the recently acquired Seldinger technique (ST) within a Mexican PD unit at a nephrologist training center.
