Arterio-venous Fistula Creation |
In this procedure, a suitable vein of the left or right forearm is freed and joined to an artery with fine sutures through a small wound.
The procedure is done usually under local anesthesia without the need to put the patient to sleep. No hospital stay is required. The patent will be able to go home after a few hours of observation. Peritoneal Dialysis Access In peritoneal dialysis, the excess water, salts and waste products in the blood is filtered using the thin membrane lining the abdominal cavity or peritoneum as a filter. These unwanted substances are then removed from the abdominal cavity to the outside through a thin tube placed within the abdominal cavity. This tube is called a Tenckhoff catheter. We perform Tenckhoff catheter insertions. UroSurgery Mt. E, Urology Specialist Clinic, Singapore
