About The Procedure

Reliable access for home dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis lets many patients with kidney failure perform dialysis at home. It requires a soft catheter placed into the abdomen, through which the dialysis fluid flows.

Dr. Talbert places the catheter laparoscopically, using a camera to position it precisely and reduce the chance of the common problems that can keep a catheter from working well. The minimally invasive approach usually means a smaller incision and a smoother recovery.

Dr. Talbert works closely with your nephrologist to time the placement, get you ready to start dialysis, and explain how to care for the catheter afterward.
