Peritoneal Catheter


Here is the exit site with dressing ready for healing. It takes 6 weeks to heal.

The operation was done with local anesthetics so i could feel what was happening. It is more painful operation than the biopsy operation.

After the catheter was inserted in the abdominal cavity they tested the pipe with half a liter of fluid. It worked nicely. After my recovery I will be trained how to do peritoneal dialysis by machine overnight. The training takes a week.
