  • Title: [Systematic use of a "swan neck" catheter for peritoneal dialysis: first evaluation].
    Author: Cuénoud PF, Rosman J, Mosimann F.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1994 Apr; 60(4):499-502. PubMed ID: 8034525.
    Abstract:
    We inserted a "swan neck" peritoneal dialysis catheter in 26 patients between January 1991 and December 1992. We report our results in the 24 patients that we were able to follow: they were satisfactory but the exit-site infection rate was too high. Postoperative care of the catheter is of paramount importance to prevent such complications.
