We inserted a "swan neck" peritoneal dialysis catheter in 26 patients between January 1991 and December 1992. We report our results in the 24 patients that we were able to follow: they were satisfactory but the exit-site infection rate was too high. Postoperative care of the catheter is of paramount importance to prevent such complications.
