Abstract
© 2020 The Authors Introduction: Bowel perforation is a rare but serious complication after peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion, which significantly increases mortality. Currently, there is no recommendation for preferring catheter insertion technique, since neither open surgical or percutaneous technique demonstrate superior outcome. Presentation of case: This is a 78-year-old man who developed jejunal perforation during PD catheter placement, presenting with initial clear and satisfying PD fluid drainage. Bowel perforation was recognized after long dwell of PD fluid returned in yellowish color. Operative finding revealed a through and through jejunal wall perforation. Conclusion: Satisfying dialysate flow and tip catheter location could not exclude accidental bowel perforation after PD catheter placement. Carefully patient monitoring is crucial in detecting postoperative complication.
