A major reason for peritoneal dialysis catheter replacement is outflow obstruction. This is commonly due to adherence of the catheter to the peritoneum. Using a blunted trocar from an acute dialysis kit the catheter can be mobilized under fluoroscopy, thus restoring function and obviating the need for surgery.

KEY WORDS: Whiplash technique; outflow obstruction; catheters.

Received 22 February 1988; accepted 23 March 1988.
