Abstract

Background and Objectives:

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an accepted renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Managing inguinal hernia in patients with PD is not standardized. Thus, this study reported the outcomes of simultaneous laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) placement and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of inguinal hernia.

Methods:

Thirteen patients with chronic renal disease and inguinal hernia attending a tertiary hospital between May 1, 2016 and June 30, 2021 were evaluated for laparoscopic PDC placement. Concurrent laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy and laparoscopic PDC placement were performed. Dialysate fluid was measured intraoperatively to the level below the incised peritoneum by 1 inch. The inflow and outflow was smooth without leakage. The amount was increased gradually in the two weeks after regular PD was obtained.
