Peritoneal dialysis catheter surgery using transversus abdominis plane block

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter surgery can be performed using regional anesthesia. We present our PD catheter placement and extraction experience using ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. In the present study, we analyzed 74 patients from our center with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent PD catheter placement (60 patients) and removal (14 patients) using a TAP block between June 2011 and December 2015. The TAP block was successful for 55/60 (91.7%) patients (insertion) and 13/14 (92.9%) patients (extraction. Other patients had pain at the incision site and required general anesthesia. There were no anesthesia-, surgery- or PD catheter related complications. The TAP block is a safe and effective technique not only for high-risk ESRD patients but for all patients undergoing PD catheter placement or extraction.
