Laparoscopic Techniques in Treatment of Inguinal Hernia in Patients with Peritoneal Dialysis: Experiences from 15 Cases.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia in patients on peritoneal dialysis, and the optimal timing for initiating postoperative peritoneal dialysis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data pertaining to patients on peritoneal dialysis with inguinal hernias treated with TAPP repair in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from July 15, 2020 to December 15, 2022. Follow-up observations of the treatment effect were also analyzed. Results: A total of 15 patients underwent TAPP repair with success. Contralateral occult hernias were found in 3 cases intraoperatively and were treated simultaneously. During the operation, it was found that the peritoneal dialysis tube was completely wrapped in the omentum majus in 1 case and incompletely wrapped in 5 cases and was separated smoothly under laparoscopy. Conclusion: For patients on peritoneal dialysis with inguinal hernia, TAPP repair has the advantages of less trauma, simultaneous treatment of contralateral occult hernias, adjustment and fixation of peritoneal dialysis tubes, lower incision complication rates, and lower recurrence rates, compared with open surgery. With the gradual resumption of peritoneal dialysis 7 days postoperatively, TAPP repair can be performed safely and effectively in this population group; thus it is a procedure worth promoting.
