Abstract
<p class="first" id="d9673198e95">A safe and well-functioning peritoneal catheter
is fundamental for adequate peritoneal
dialysis (PD) treatment. Peritoneal catheter implantation by Moncrief-Popovich (MP)
technique might add several clinical advantages besides allowing timely access implantation.
The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of catheter-related complications
and survival in a single-centre university hospital PD unit, according to the method
of catheter implantation.
