Dialysis is a life-saving treatment method for patients with kidney failure. However, successful dialysis requires the creation of a suitable vascular access in the body. Dialysis fistula surgeries are surgical procedures performed to establish this vascular access and are of critical importance for the effective administration of dialysis therapy.

Creation of a Fistula:
A fistula is typically created by surgically connecting an artery and a vein, usually in the arm. This connection forms a vascular access point that can provide adequate blood flow for dialysis. An arteriovenous (AV) fistula is the preferred method for long-term use due to its lower risk of complications. The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, and patients are often discharged within a few hours after surgery.

Dialysis Fistula and the Implementation Process:
After creation, the fistula requires a maturation period before it becomes suitable for adequate blood flow during dialysis. During this time, the patient undergoes regular monitoring. Proper care is essential to ensure the fistula functions efficiently. Potential risks such as infection, delayed maturation, or other complications are closely monitored and managed.

Op. Dr. Murat Ertürk performs dialysis fistula creation using the most appropriate techniques tailored to each individual, adhering to the highest medical standards. The selection of suitable vessels, meticulous surgical technique, and appropriate post-operative care are vital for a successful outcome.

Dialysis fistula creation significantly improves the quality of life for patients and ensures uninterrupted dialysis treatment. Dr. Ertürk provides personalized treatment plans to facilitate a smooth and safe recovery process for each patient.
