Prospective controlled trial with Tenckhoff, Toronto Western Hospital and Goldberg catheter showed a lower incidence of catheter-tip dislodgement from the pelvis with the Toronto Western Hospital catheter. A 1982 retrospective review of experiences, revealed significantly better one and two year catheter survival with the Toronto Western Hospital catheter #2 compared to the straight Tenckhoff catheter inserted at the bed side but not compared to the surgically inserted Tenckhoff catheter. Early dialysate leak was a significant compilation observed with the use of all catheters. Lateral placement of catheters has practically eliminated this complication. Catheter exit site infection now is the major cause of catheter failure.
