Article Synopsis
- - Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease, but it can have complications like infections and mechanical obstructions, which may involve organs such as the omentum and, rarely, the fallopian tube fimbriae.
- - A 65-year-old woman on peritoneal dialysis experienced abdominal pain and decreased catheter flow, leading to a CT scan that indicated a mechanical obstruction.
- - Surgery revealed that her fallopian tube fimbriae were trapped in the dialysis catheter, which was freed and repositioned; she recovered well and resumed dialysis without further complications.
