Abstract
The incidence of abdominal and inguinal hernia varies from 10 to 2% among continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD) patients. We experienced two cases of marked scrotal and external genital swelling caused by indirect inguinal hernia in CAPD patients. Hy using computerized tomography(CT) scanning after intraperitoneal instillation of contrast dye via Tenckhoff catheter, we could identify precisely the two-dimensional location of anatomical defects such as the existence of a patent processus vaginalis or tearing in a hernia sac. These lesions were successfully repaired without recurrence during the 2 years follow-up period.
