Several medical literatures report a variety of post-operative outcomes and preoperative rates of CAPD. In this study, we investigate our experience in placing CAPD catheters using both minimally invasive and open techniques. From this study, we would like to conclude our surgical outcomes. Materials and Methods: This study is a retrospective review involving all patients receiving CAPD catheter placement in Moewardi General Hospital from 2005 to 2018. We analyzed the outcomes including complications and reoperation rates. Results: A total of 83 patients with ESRD (mean ASA score = 3.3) underwent CAPD catheter placement. There were 2 (11%) patients who underwent reoperation due to CAPD catheter malfunction. Four (4.8%) patients suffering from CAPD catheter infections. Three (3.6%) patients underwent reoperation due to CAPD catheter migration. Conclusion: The use of CAPD results in a temporary or permanent reduction in dialithic function, which leads to debility or death. Surgical procedures for insertion of CAPD catheters in ESRD patients, in the approaches of both open surgery and laparoscopic, are generally safe.
