All records of children who underwent the procedure from 2002 to 2022 at the University Medical Centre of Hamburg were analyzed. The demographic and anthropometric characteristics were scrutinized, with particular attention given to complications such as catheter leakage, occlusions, and peritonitis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to determine the hazard ratios for complications. In total, 299 implantations were performed in 116 females and 130 males; 67% were under 5\u00a0years old, and 85% had renal disease. Fifty-one percent needed an acute catheter insertion, 26% of the patient\u2018s required revision, and 24% of the patients experienced peritonitis. Neonates had a 22% mortality rate, and infants had a 37% reimplantation rate. Compared with the other subgroups, a glomerular filtration rate of 15\u201329\u00a0ml\/kg\/1.7 3m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> was associated with a 10.7-fold higher risk of peritonitis. Male patients had a threefold greater chance of reimplantation or inguinal hernia. Omentectomy revealed no increased risk of peritonitis, and only two catheter occlusions were observed. Patients with inguinal hernias or gastric tubes had higher odds of complications (HR\u2009=\u20093.60, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003 and OR\u2009=\u20092.47, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.014).
