ABSTRACT
A subcutaneous intraperitoneal proslysis has been successfully implanted in three chronic uraemic patients. Fifty peritoneal dialyses have been done during 6-3 patient-months, without complications. During this short experience, peritonitis was not seen at all. The patients' acceptance of the prosthesis was good. Lack of abdominal tubes or bags is a remarkable technical improvement of this device.
