The development and widespread diffusion ofCAPD has stimulated a growing interest in peritoneal access. In the past few years, many new types of peritoneal catheters (1,2,3) and new implantation techniques ( 4,5) have been proposed; however, the simple Tenckhoff catheter is still the most commonly used worldwide. The aim of our study was to evaluate retrospectively the clinical outcome in 127 patients on CAPD, in whom the standard double-cuff straight Tenckhoff catheter was surgically placed from 1981 to 1994.

Abstract
The development and widespread diffusion ofCAPD has stimulated a growing interest in peritoneal access. In the past few years, many new types of peritoneal catheters (1,2,3) and new implantation techniques ( 4,5) have been proposed; however, the simple Tenckhoff catheter is still the most commonly used worldwide. The aim of our study was to evaluate retrospectively the clinical outcome in 127 patients on CAPD, in whom the standard double-cuff straight Tenckhoff catheter was surgically placed from 1981 to 1994.
