What is done surgery for dialysis?

Surgery for dialysis typically involves creating a vascular access point to facilitate the procedure. The two primary types are arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, which connect an artery and vein, and AV grafts, which use a synthetic tube to link the two. These access points allow for efficient blood flow during hemodialysis treatments. Additionally, peritoneal dialysis may involve the surgical placement of a catheter in the abdomen for fluid exchange.
