ABSTRACT
The aim of our study was analysis of efficacy of laparoscopic operations for treatment of complications arising in patients with terminal chronic renal failure (TCRF) on peritoneal dialysis (PH). A total of 86 TCRF patients participated in the trial. The study group consisted of 36 patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery for correction of dysfunction of the peritoneal catheter, for treatment of acute and progressive chronic diseases of the abdomen. A control group included 50 patients treated with laparotomy. All the patients were on the dialysis for 1-48 months. After laparoscopic operations 7 patients were switched on hemodialysis. In the control group peritoneal dialysis was discontinued in 30% patients, lethality in this group was twice higher. Thus, laparoscopic operations allow prolongation of peritoneal dialysis in dysfunction of peritoneal catheter and in development of acute and progression of chronic surgical diseases of the abdomen.
