    Abstract:
    This paper shows the most important germs that are responsible for exit-site and tunnel infections in CAPD patients, and the possible action to care for them. Prevention of PD catheter infection begins with good surgical practice in catheter implantation and includes appropriate preoperative patient preparation. Some of the operative protocols for dialytic methods used in our unit are shown.
