Hi, it’s a relatively quick and easy op, the PD catheter stays ‘buried’ until you need to start dialysis and then it is exposed under a local anaesthetic so you can start PD.
Well she had her PD fitted, and it all went well. Had it done under a general and has had little discomfort. No need for any pain killers. Just thought I'd post incase anyone worried procedure.
