We inserted a "swan neck" peritoneal dialysis catheter in 26 patients between January 1991 and December 1992. We report our results in the 24 patients that we were able to follow: they were satisfactory but the exit-site infection rate was too high. Postoperative care of the catheter is of paramount importance to prevent such complications.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
