INFECTED INTRA-ABDOMINAL HEMATOMA ASSOCIATED WITH AN INDWELLING TENCKHOFF CATHETER

Gregory L. Braden, Michael J. Germain, Vincent A. Guardione and John P. Fitzgibbons

From the Department of Medicine, Renal Service and Department of Surgery, Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Massachusetts.

Two months after cessation of contin ous cycling peritoneal dialysis a pa tient developed an infected intra abdominal hematoma while a Tenck hoff catheter was still present in the abdomen. The hematoma required surgical evacuation. This complica tion suggests that we should consider early removal of TenckhotT catheters after successful renal transplanta tion or after switching to hemo dialysis.

KEY WORDS: Intra-abdominal hema toma; Tenckhoff catheter.
