Total laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer in a renal transplantation patient receiving peritoneal dialysis: Case report and literature review

Improved surgical techniques and immunosuppressant medications for organ transplantation have resulted in a significant increase in the number of women undergoing renal transplantation. Peritoneal dialysis (PD), a common supportive therapy for chronic renal failure, is also used in cases of renal transplantation failure. Herein, we report the first case of a rare total conventional laparoscopic gynecologic hysterectomy performed for endometrial cancer in a patient undergoing life‐supportive PD as a result of renal transplantation failure. No unusual intraoperative complications were experienced, but post‐surgical peritoneal leakage was observed. We reviewed the literature of alternative surgical methods of hysterectomy for endometrial cancer in patients who had undergone renal transplantation and were undergoing PD at the time of the hysterectomy. Laparoscopic hysterectomy could be safe in a renal transplantation patient receiving PD if injury to the transplanted ureter and renal artery is avoided by recognizing the patient's anatomy and PD leakage is averted by careful peritoneum suture and avoiding contact with the PD catheter.
