Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter fixation techniques are frequently employed to minimize migration and optimize dialysate flow. While mechanical complications of PD catheters are well recognized, adverse events directly attributable to anchoring sutures are rarely described. We report two patients with end‐stage renal failure (ESRF)

Abstract Background Bladder neck contracture is a challenging complication following radical prostatectomy. While endoscopic management is the first line of treatment, recalcitrant cases often require surgical reconstruction. This report aimed to describe a minimally invasive technique for reconstructing post‐radical prostatectomy vesico‐urethral ...

Abstract Objective To compare the dialysis efficiency parameters between new single‐needle dialysis and conventional double‐needle dialysis and to explore the optimal prescription parameters for single‐needle hemodialysis. Methods This study involved a prospective, cross‐over design. Eight patients were randomly divided into two cohorts, which received

Abstract Introduction Peritoneal solute transfer rates (PSTR) are reported to increase with time. Changes in PSTR were reviewed in long‐term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients to determine whether lower glucose degradation products (low GDP) dialysates prevented an increase in PSTR. Methods PSTR was determined with a 4‐h peritoneal equilibrium test with
