Prevalence of Patent Processus Vaginalis Diagnosed Using Laparoscopy during Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion and Subsequent Genital Edema: A Prospective Observational Study
Although the number of patients with patent PV who manifested genital edema was small, our results suggest that patent PV at PD initiation may be an important contributor for genital edema in patients undergoing PD. Further studies are needed to determine whether the repair of patent PV could prevent subsequent genital edema.
