Conservative treatment of processus vaginalis hernia in two peritoneal dialysis patients.
Dialysate leakage represents one of the major noninfectious complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD). In some instances, dialysate leakage may lead to discontinuation of the technique. Despite its importance, the incidence, risk factors, management, and outcome of dialysate leakage are poorly characterized in the literature. Here, we report two PD patients who presented with painless scrotal swelling. Computerized peritoneography confirmed the diagnosis of processus vaginalis hernia that was treated conservatively.
