Laparoscopic Management of Dialysate Leakage Secondary to Necrotic Peritoneum.

Peritoneal dialysate leakage is a well-known complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In late leakage, it is usually managed conservatively and subsequently converted to hemodialysis. We hereby report a case of peritoneal dialysate leakage secondary to necrotic peritoneum, which was managed by laparoscopic excision of the affected peritoneum. Regeneration of new peritoneum was documented and the patient could resume CAPD successfully.
