Abstract

One hundred thirty-six totally implanted peritoneal catheter systems were placed in 130 patients. No complications occurred at catheter placement. A total of 629 courses of intraperitoneal therapy were administered. The average catheter has remained in place for 4.5 months (range 1-19 months). Seven catheters (5.1%) were removed for infection. An additional 7 catheters were removed because of blockage, for a total removal rate due to complications of 10.2%. Catheters were not used for drainage of the peritoneal cavity. The totally implanted peritoneal catheter system provides a reliable means for long-term access to the peritoneal cavity in patients with ovarian cancer.
