In this work we report our 24 months experience in the placement of 119 peritoneal catheters in 105 patients (59 males, 46 females, mean age 60.1 years; range 24-90) using the peritoneoscopic insertion technique. After catheter implantation a dialysis solution leak is encountered in 7.5% of cases, tunnel infection in 4 cases (3.3%) and exit site infection in 12.5% of the catheters. Placement by endoscopic control is considered as a technique able to avoid catheter migration; in our series we reported this complication in 15 cases (12.5%). The easy access to the peritoneal cavity and the atraumatic insertion of the catheter obtained with the Y-TEC procedure reduced the hospitalization period from 25 to 5 days on average. In our experience actuarial survival of catheters is 82.5% at 24 months.
