Management of Hernias in the Context of Peritoneal Dialysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Surgical Aspects of Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

The management of abdominal wall hernias is crucial for surgeons dedicated to peritoneal dialysis (PD). Common clinical scenarios which require different treatment algorithms, are represented by hernias diagnosed in pre-assessment (before peritoneal catheter insertion), during laparoscopic PD catheter insertion and post- operatively after dialysis starts (in the form of abdominal wall or incisional hernias).
