摘要
To the editor： Abdominal hernias are relatively common in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis（CAPD）, with a prevalence of 4%-14%.1,2 Failure to detect an occult contralateral hernia （OCH） may lead to the requirement of a second surgery repair and severe complications, such as dialysis inadequacy and strangulation of the herniated loop of intestine. Here we report a case on CAPl） whose bilateral inguinal hernia was missed by routine examinations, but later correctly diagnosed by CT peritoneography （CTP）.
