FURTHER EXPERIENCE WITH THE FLEXIBLE PERITONEAL CANNULA IN SEVERAL HOSPITAL CENTERS,

Abstract

Experiences using an indwelling peritoneal cannula designed to permit repeated, chronic dialysis without need for repeated paracentesis are discussed. The device is inserted into the peritoneal cavity through a trocar, accomodates standard dialysis catheters, and remains in place between dialytic procedures. In general, the cannula has been useful; continuing modifications should increase its safety and utility.
