The aim was to analyze our results and complications in laparoscopic-assisted placement of the Tenckhoff catheter for peritoneal dialysis in comparison with results reported in the literature. Fifty patients were included in this retrospective analysis. From January 2000 to November 2010, they underwent laparoscopic-assisted placement of catheter for peritonea dialysis at the University Department of Surgery, Rijeka University Hospital Center. The results of this approach, early and late postoperative complications, conversions to open technique, and reoperation rate were analyzed. The complications that occurred within the first 4 weeks were considered as early complications. In 23 patients, 29 complications were recorded. There were 18 early complications, of which 2 acute peritonitis, 2 ileus, 4 bleeding, 4 catheter infection, 3 fluid leakage, 2 catheter malpositioning and 1 genital edema. There were 11 late complications, of which 5 acute peritonitis, 1 recurrent peritonitis, 1 bleeding, 1 catheter infection, 1 catheter malpositioning, 1 fluid leakage and 1 port site hernia. There were no deaths after surgery or any complications disabling the implementation of peritonea dialysis. In patients with end-stage renal disease, laparoscopic-assisted placement of catheter for peritoneal dialysis is a safe and appropriate method of treatment
