  • Title: [Technic for implantation of the Oreopoulos-Zellerman catheter in peritoneal dialysis].
    Author: Verreet PR, Rötzscher V, Ulrich B.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1983 Sep; 54(9):609-12. PubMed ID: 6628062.
    Abstract:
    The continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a routine measurement under certain circumstances in nephrological units, which is preferentially performed in patients who cannot be adapted to haemodialysis. Certain risks are inherent in this method. They are dependent on the patient himself as well as on measurement used. Typical complications are canalicular infections along the catheter loop, intra- and extraabdominal dislocations of the catheter tube, abdominal wall leaking and the CAPD-peritonitis. Our own patients are analyzed according to this aspect; the value of a standardized technique of implantation of the Oreopoulos-Zellermann-Catheter is described with regard to the reduction of surgical risks.
