title: Buttonhole cannulation technique in a patient with keloid scarred skin on home hemodialysis: a case study.
abstract: The buttonhole cannulation technique is the recommended and preferred approach for patients with an arteriovenous fistula on home hemodialysis; however, keloid formation from previous access techniques may preclude buttonhole cannulation. This case study details how buttonhole cannulation can be successful despite keloid formation in a patient on home hemodialysis.
