Observational study shows reduced catheter migration in dialysis, suggesting a safer insertion technique.

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

Chan et al. (2026) studied this question.
