A Novel Technique for Laparoscopic Salvage of CAPD Catheter Malfunction and Migration: The Santosh-PGI Hanging Loop Technique

Figure 2

Laparoscopic view demonstrating wrapped-up CAPD catheter by appendices epiploicae of sigmoid colon (a). Dissection of the catheter from epiploicae using harmonic shear device (b). CAPD catheter hanging freely over prolene loops that are fixed to the pelvic parietal peritoneum using hemostatic clips (c). Epiplopexy using hemostatic clips (d) (AE = appendices epiploicae; CC = CAPD catheter; SC = sigmoid colon; SM = sigmoid mesocolon; HC = hemostatic clips).
