Femoral Hernia Repair (Initial/Reducible) is a surgical procedure for the removal of an infected or malfunctioning peritoneal dialysis catheter and the insertion of a new catheter. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making a small incision at the exit site of the existing catheter. The surgeon carefully removes the old catheter, taking care to avoid damaging surrounding tissue. The new catheter is then inserted into the peritoneal cavity through the same incision site or a nearby location, and the catheter tip is positioned properly to ensure optimal function. The incision is closed with sutures or adhesive strips, and a sterile dressing is applied to the site to prevent infection. This procedure aims to restore effective peritoneal dialysis access for patients with end-stage renal disease who rely on peritoneal dialysis for waste removal and fluid balance.
