Abstract

Background: The common problems after performing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
were catheter migration, leakage, outflow obstruction and hemorrhage. There was a study of comparison
between laparoscopic and open technique complications the results of which were 13% and 35%, respectively.
At present, there were many laparoscopic techniques to improve outcome due to minimally invasive nature and
direct visual pathology. The extra-peritoneal method is a good option to reduce complication.
Materials and Methods: The retrospective cohort study was carried out to compare laparoscopic
Tenckhoff insertion via extra-peritoneum and open technique. The patients’ data were collected from January
2010 to January 2012. The operations were performed by two surgeons. Fifty nine patients were enrolled in this
study but three were excluded so the total number was 56 patients. Outcomes at 6 months were analyzed. The
survival of catheter was compared between two techniques. The statistical analysis was performed using a Chisquare
test, Fisher’s exact tests and t-test with p-value < 0.05 as statistical significance. The Kaplan-Meier
survival analysis was used to compare survival rates.
Results: There was no difference in age and gender between two groups. Most patients had underlying
hypertension or diabetes. The comparative data between laparoscopic and open methods in follow-up time
(month), operative time (min) and number of catheter survival after 6 months (%) wer e21±3 vs 10±3, 45±12
vs 19±8 and 89% vs 66% respectively. The complication rates in term of migration, leakage, bleeding and
peritonitis at the first 6 months between laparoscopic and open methods were 0% vs 21%, 0% vs 5%, 0% vs 5%
and17% vs 18% respectively. Only the migration rate of catheter was significantly lower in the laparoscopic
group compared with open technique. However, long-term catheter survival was not different.
Conclusion: The laparoscopic Tenckhoff insertion via extra-peritoneal approach is feasible and effective
in reducing postoperative catheter complications especially catheter migration.
