title: [Laparoscopic surgery: a new alternative to abdominal surgery in renal insufficiency treated by CAPD].
abstract: Six laparoscopic abdominal operations were performed in five patients with chronic renal failure with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Coelioscopic exploration and operation disclosed several advantages including peritoneal dialysis catheter salvage, abdominal exploration in peritonitis or before catheter implantation, early dialysis after surgery, hence avoiding the need for transient hemodialysis. Furthermore, laparoscopy was reported to decrease postoperative pain and ventilatory disorders. This minimal invasive surgical technique allows rapid recovery of social and professional activities.
