Abstract EN
Buried peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters are typically inserted several weeks or months before the anticipated need for dialysis.
Occasionally, renal function unexpectedly stabilizes after the surgery, and a patient may go years before the catheter is needed.
We report a case of successful initiation of PD with a twenty-year-old buried catheter.
We outline the steps needed to optimize the catheter function and review the benefits of the buried PD catheter.
