Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic repair for ingunal hernia after peritoneal dialysis. Methods Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia was conducted in 26 patients with chronic renal insufficiency who had received peritoneal dialysis for a long time. For indirect inguinal hernia, a piece of mesh was placed in the abdominal cavity and the internal ring was sutured and ligated under laparoscope. For direct inguinal hernia, the hernia sac was high suspended and then the mesh onlay was placed under laparoscope. Results The laparoscopy was successfully performed in all the 26 patients, without conversions to open surgery. No postoperative hematoma of scrotum or refractory neuralgia was observed. Follow-up examinations for 6~12 months (mean, 9 months) showed no recurrence. Conclusions Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy for inguinal hernia after peritoneal dialysis is feasible, effective, and safe.
