Abstract
A 5-day-old neonate born at term presented in renal failure for insertion of a peritoneal dialysis catheter. This was successfully achieved with spinal anaesthesia, with no intra- or postoperative complications. Regional techniques are considered suitable for an increasing variety of procedures in patients in whom the risks of general anaesthesia are significant.
