Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) encounter an increased risk for infection, bleeding, and PD fluid leakage after abdominal surgery. These complications may affect the future use of PD. Appropriate patient preparation may mitigate complications. Certain complications or procedures allow patients to remain on PD while others require transition to hemodialysis. We review the etiology and management of infection, bleeding, and PD fluid leakage associated with abdominal surgery as well as the relationship of specific abdominal procedures to continuing PD.
