Preserved fertility of a young woman with bilateral peritoneal dialysis catheter fimbrial adhesions, a priority to consider.
Аннотация
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has become an established treatment modality for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in recent years, though catheter dysfunction remains a common issue, often due to adhesions or migration. Laparoscopic surgery is an effective method for addressing these problems with precision and minimal trauma. A rare cause of catheter dysfunction is fimbriae adhesions, where the fimbriae of the fallopian tubes obstruct the catheter. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman with ESKD who transitioned to PD, complicated by catheter blockage within days. Radiographs suggested adhesions and diagnostic laparoscopy revealed fimbriae entangling the catheter. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis and catheter replacement were performed, with the fallopian tubes secured to the ipsilateral ovary to prevent recurrence. Post-surgery, catheter function was restored, and an 18-month follow-up showed no complications. This case highlights the importance of considering fertility preservation in cases of fimbrial adhesions and underscores the value of laparoscopic intervention.
