Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the advantages and disadvantages of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter fixation versus nonfixation in open surgery for PD catheter placement.
We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases from their inception to March 1, 2025. Eligible studies comparing PD catheter fixation with nonfixation in open surgery were included. The data were analyzed using Review Manager Version 5.3 and Stata Version 14.
