Surgical Aspects of Peritoneal Dialysis
This book aims to educate general and vascular surgeons on all pertinent aspects of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Most surgeons get very little training in residency on this topic, and the use of PD is growing around the world. Much of the book will

Georg Ganter from Germany in 1923 performed peritoneal exchanges in human subjects, using a simple needle to instill and drain one to three liters of specially prepared sterile PD solution that contained appropriate amount of electrolytes and dextrose. He observed that needle allowed free inflow but drainage was very cumbersome. Peritonitis was a frequent complication. To the modern nephrologists involved in peritoneal dialysis, Ganter’s observations would be a “loud music”! In the ensuing nearly a century, many innovators including surg
