Unfortunately, IAAs are not readily visible to currently available imaging methods. The laparoscopic approach for inserting PD catheters enables direct visualization of IAAs and simultaneously performs adhesiolysis. However, a limited number of studies have investigated the benefit\/risk profile of laparoscopic adhesiolysis in patients receiving PD catheter placement. This retrospective study aimed to address this issue. Materials and Methods: This study enrolled 440 patients who received laparoscopic PD catheter insertion at our hospital between January 2013 and May 2020. Adhesiolysis was performed in all cases with IAA identified via laparoscopy. We retrospectively reviewed data, including clinical characteristics, operative details, and PD-related clinical outcomes. Results: These patients were classified into the adhesiolysis group (n = 47) and the non-IAA group (n = 393). The clinical characteristics and operative details had no remarkable between-group differences, except the percentage of prior abdominal operation history was higher and the median operative time was longer in the adhesiolysis group. PD-related clinical outcomes, including incidence rate of mechanical obstruction, PD adequacy (Kt\/V urea and weekly creatinine clearance), and overall catheter survival, were all comparable between the adhesiolysis and non-IAA groups. None of the patients in the adhesiolysis group suffered adhesiolysis-related complications. Conclusions: Laparoscopic adhesiolysis in patients with IAA confers clinical benefits in achieving PD-related outcomes comparable to those without IAA. It is a safe and reasonable approach. Our findings provide new evidence to support the benefits of this laparoscopic approach, especially in patients with a risk of IAAs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59061014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T01:36:28Z","timestamp":1684978588000},"page":"1014","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Clinical Benefits of Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis during Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion: A Single-Center Experience"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9360-908X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao-Wei","family":"Kou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1455-092X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chun-Nan","family":"Yeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chun-Yi","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shou-Hsuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wen-Yu","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6853-4557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chao-Wei","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1514-3015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shang-Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8899-0376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ming-Yang","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ya-Chung","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun-Te","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsann-Long","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneph.2016.181","article-title":"Changes in the worldwide epidemiology of peritoneal dialysis","volume":"13","author":"Li","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nat.
