Study compares single-, double-purse-string suture catheter insertion methods in dialysis

Related postinsertion complication and technical survival charges are seen with single- and double-purse-string suture catheter insertion strategies for peritoneal dialysis, in line with a examine revealed on-line Dec. 11 in Renal Failure.

Xiaoling Li, Ph.D., from the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences and Sichuan Provincial Folks’s Hospital in Chengdu, China, and colleagues carried out a retrospective examine involving 142 sufferers who underwent peritoneal catheterization utilizing the single- or double-purse-string suture methodology (Teams S and D, respectively).

The researchers discovered that throughout the first month postinsertion, there have been no important intergroup variations when it comes to an infection complication charges or noninfection complication charges. At one, two, and three years, the estimates of technical survival had been 96.3, 90.4, and 85.9% and 89.9, 86.7, and 84.8% in Teams S and D, respectively. In the course of the three-year follow-up, affected person survival charges had been comparable between the teams.

“In conclusion, this examine revealed similarities in postinsertion problems and catheter technical survival charges between the single- and double-purse-string suture strategies for peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation,” the authors write.

“These findings spotlight the viability of the single-purse-string suture methodology, which simplifies the surgical course of and is worthy of widespread medical use.”
