A safe method for introducing a catheter for conducting peritoneal dialysis in neonates has been used successfully in 12 cannulations and has resulted in easy inflow and outflow of solutions without pericatheter leakage through the quite thin abdominal wall of the neonate. No significant complications have occurred.
