Abstract
Since Palmer et al. [1–2] introduced an indwelling silicone rubber peritoneal catheter in 1964, several modifications have been made to original design that were directed chiefly towards improving its anchoring on the tissues and decreasing the frequency of complications, such as one-way (outflow) obstruction, and preventing its free movement inside the peritoneal cavity [3–7]. One of these modifications is the Toronto Western Hospital catheter, designed by Oreopoulous and Zellerman in 1976 [7]. Its main distinguishing feature is two flat silicone rubber discs on the intraabdominal portion of the catheter.
