Peritoneal Catheter Placement

Peritoneal Catheter Placement

Peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that establishes a permanent, sterile conduit into the abdominal cavity, enabling dialysis fluid to flow in and out for continuous kidney‑replacement therapy. By carefully positioning the flexible catheter under imaging guidance, clinicians create a reliable access point that patients can use at home for long‑term treatment while minimising infection risk and preserving vascular health.
