Item Simultaneous continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation and inguinal hernia repair.(2006-03-17) Singh, C Arunkumar; Singh, N Saratkumar; Moirangthem, G S; Singh, T Sudhirchandra; Singh, K Lokendra; Singh, L Ramesh; Sharma, L Romesh; Mebang, MayurContinuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a new modality of treatment for end stage renal disease. Although this procedure is largely underutilised in India, in Manipur this procedure is routinely offered to patients of end stage renal disease. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation was started in Manipur in May, 2001. Till now continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter has been implanted in 116 cases. Out of this 3 patients had associated inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernia is a relative contra-indication for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Still the inguinal hernia was repaired in the same sitting with the catheter implantation. The procedure is described along with the outcome.
