title: [Implantation technic of a peritoneal dialysis catheter in infancy and childhood].
abstract: Since 1979 the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is used even in childhood. Practical management and tolerance of this method over a longer period are dependent on the compatibility of the chosen catheter material, the implantation technique and the exact introduction in catheter care with sac changing. The used variant of the classical Tenckhoff-catheter with spiral end and individually fitted cuffs has proved to be reliable. The left-sided paramedian incision is the preferred operative access. The transrectal position of the catheter guarantees its cranio-caudal course and placement of the spiral in the minor pelvis. The standardisation of surgical procedure in all details is an essential assumption for the improvement of long-term catheter function.
