Laparoscopic Placement of the BardPort Intraperitoneal Catheter and ReservoirDr. Arlan F. Fuller, Jr.Gillette Center for Women's OncologyMassachusetts General Hospital
Pre-placement Procedure • Perform laparoscopy in the usual manner with umbilical placement of laparoscope trocar and survey of the abdominal cavity for adhesions • Place a 5 mm operative trocar in a position contralateral to the side of proposed catheter placement • Identify the prospective site in the lower quadrant for entry of the catheter into the peritoneal cavity
Mark the site for reservoir placement above the right costal margin
Place the tunneler on the end of the catheter and start the passage deep to Scarpa’s fascia
Bluntly with a hemostat extend the incision beneath Scarpa’s fascia to contact the tunneler
Pass the catheter through the tunnel and the target incision and cut catheter to remove tunneler
Suture the reservoir in place to fascia and confirm catheter function
Place introducer needle through target incision adjacent to catheter
Visualize needle tip at the target site in the peritoneal cavity
Pass the guidewire with “J” tip through the introducer needle
Pass the guidewire with “J” tip through the introducer needle
Visualize “J” tip of the wire at the target site in the peritoneal cavity
Withdraw the introducer needle leaving the guidewire in place
Insert the introducer with the 10F dilator over the guidewire into the peritoneal cavity
Visualize the dilator AND the peel-away introducer in the peritoneal cavity Dilator Introducer Dilator
Pass the catheter through the introducer and assist laparoscopically in advancing the catheter into the peritoneal cavity
Peel away the introducer while holding the catheter in the peritoneal cavity
Advance all the remaining catheter into the peritoneal cavity
Adjust position of catheter tip and confirm function by injection Last, subcuticular closure of all incisions
