Inguinal herniation in two patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
We report two cases of subacute inguinal swelling in uremic patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Computed tomography, scintigraphy demonstrated a mass in the right groin. Surgical repair of an inguinal hernia resulted in complete resolution of the inguinal swelling. Both patients could restart continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, without complication.
