Özet
Background: The authors describe a new procedure to prevent omental wrapping in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Case report: Four boys with end-stage renal diseases underwent laparoscopic omental folding with intracorporeal suturing and a double-cuffed catheter was pulled through into the abdominal cavity using a trocar site and positioned. Peritoneal dialysis was initiated immediately after surgery. Results: No intraoperative complications occurred. All catheters functioned well postoperatively. After a median follow-up period of 48 months, the results revealed no catheter malfunction or any abdominal complication. Conclusions Laparoscopic omental folding is feasible in children, but further well-designed prospective studies are needed to evaluate the advantages of our technique. © Springer-Verlag Wien 2012.
