Abstract
Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis is accepted renal placement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Managing inguinal hernia in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient is not standardized. Moreover, the occurrence of occult hernia post PD placement needs surgical planning. This work aims to report the outcome of simultaneous laparoscopic placement od PD catheter and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of inguinal hernia. Methods All patients underwent laparoscopic PD catheter placement for ESRD from September 2016 to July 2021 were reviewed. Patients who underwent Concurrent Laparoscopic Inguinal Herniorraphy and Laparoscopic PD catheter placement were involved. PD with inflow measurement of the amount and should be below the incised peritoneum by 1 inch and smooth inflow and outflow without leakage. The amount raised gradually in two weeks to reach the targeted PD. Results Laparoscopic PD catheter placement was inserted for 13 patients with inguinal hernia. Two patients had bilateral inguinal hernia, one patient with umbilical hernia, and one patient diagnosed with hernia intraoperatively. The safe amount of dialysate fluid was from 400 to 600ml. There was no mortality, intraoperative complications or fluid dialysis leak. One patient had catheter displacement which was repositioned laparoscopically. Three catheters were removed due to non-compliance. No hernia recurrence observed. Conclusion Simultaneous laparoscopic PD catheter placement and TAPP repair herniorrhaphy with immediate use of PD is safe and effective. Our surgical approach allows using minimal invasive technique in the management of both PD catheter placement and inguinal hernia repair without delaying PD.
