“…The presence of colonic diverticulosis was once considered a relative contraindication to PD because of its association with enteric peritonitis (4)(5)(6)(7). Later studies from other Western countries, however, found no such association (8,9).…”

“…Spontaneous bowel perforation rarely occurs among PD patients, although when it occurs the morbidity and mortality rates are very high [2]. Wakeen et al [12] observed visceral perforation in 15 of 431 patients undergoing regular PD.…”

“…As the science of PD improved, so has the life expectancy of patients on PD. Major acute complications of PD include peritonitis, exit site infection, bowel perforation [2], hydrothorax, and a wide spectrum of peritoneal alteration. Extensive peritoneal calcification [3] and encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) are rare forms of peritoneal alteration after long-term PD.…”

“…Risk factors that are associated with delayed perforation include diverticulitis, immunosuppression, colonic amyloidosis, and dormant PD catheters. [4][5][6] It is thought that the delayed perforation seen with dormant catheters may occur from a lack of fluid cushion between the foreign body and bowel or bladder wall. This could lead to gradual pressure necrosis, erosion, and eventual perforation.…”
