Material-Methodology: Between 2005-2010 228 patients (182 females/46 males)

underwent total thyroidectomy for a variety of functional and non-functional thyroid
disorders and the specimens were analysed in the Pathology Department of our
Hospital. Results: 34 patients with single non-functional thyroid nodule (14.9%), 152

with non-toxic multinodular goiter (66.7%),26 with toxic multinodular goiter (11.4%),

6 with toxic adenoma (2.6%) και 10 with Graves disease (4.4%) were operated.In the
two first groups we found respectively 11 people (32.4% of the patients with single
nodule) and 21 (13.8% of the people with non-toxic multinodular goiter) with

differentiated thyroid cancer.

Conclusively 17.2% of the people with non-functional thyroid disorders were

diagnosed with DTC. On the contrary from the 42 patients of the other three groups
with hyperthyroidism only one young male with papillary carcinoma and Graves

disease was detected (10% of the patients with Graves or 2.4% of the total
hyperthyroid patients) (P=0.014, odds ratio 8.5). The cases of single non-functional
nodule and non-toxic multinodular goiter.

Abstract

Introduction: The successful placement of the peritoneal catheter is directly related
to peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique survival. The methods used in peritoneal

catheter insertion are distinguished in the surgical method with small laparotomy, in
the laparoscopic method and in the percutaneous method as well. The latter is

performed either with the Seldinger approach, or by using a trocar. There are
conflicting data to date regarding the effectiveness of the various methods of PD

catheter placement.

Methods: The aim of this study is to estimate the survival of peritoneal catheters
inserted percutaneously in our unit with a Tenckhoff trocar at bedside, during the last
