A method of implanting a fluid injection port including the step of providing a fluid injection port having a housing having a distal back portion having a recessed portion, a proximal opening and a fluid reservoir therebetween, a needle penetrable septum attached to the housing about the opening, and a catheter tube connection member in fluid communication with the reservoir, the member is attached to the recessed portion of the back portion and extends distally therefrom such that connection member does not extend distal to a distal most portion of the back portion. The method then involves attaching the port to tissue of a patient. The method further involves attaching a proximal end of a catheter tube to the catheter tube connection member such that the proximal end of the catheter tube is proximal to the distal most portion of the back portion.
