Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement
A minimally invasive procedure to place the catheter needed for peritoneal dialysis, positioned precisely through small incisions so home dialysis can begin reliably.
Reliable access for home dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis lets many patients with kidney failure perform dialysis at home. It requires a soft catheter placed into the abdomen, through which the dialysis fluid flows.
Dr. Talbert places the catheter laparoscopically, using a camera to position it precisely and reduce the chance of the common problems that can keep a catheter from working well. The minimally invasive approach usually means a smaller incision and a smoother recovery.
Dr. Talbert works closely with your nephrologist to time the placement, get you ready to start dialysis, and explain how to care for the catheter afterward.
