What is Chemo Port | Chemoport Surgery in Gurgaon, Gurugram, UP, Delhi

 Chemo port is a small medical-grade titanium reservoir that is placed beneath the skin below the collar bone. This reservoir has a thin tube that is going inside the large veins in the neck or chest. This port can be used to inject chemotherapy and other medicines, to draw blood samples as needed, without the need for any iv cannula.


How is a port inserted?

This is done by a small same-day surgery done under either local anesthesia or mild sedation. This can be placed as a separate surgery or as a part of breast cancer surgery. A small pocket beneath the skin is created where this disc-shaped reservoir is placed. The connected tube is threaded into the neck vein so that the tip lies in a large vein inside the chest. After the surgery, you will notice a slight bump in the skin where the reservoir port is present. The Doctor/ Nurse will feel this bump and insert a special needle here to start the medicine infusion. Since it's completely covered, the patient doesn’t need to change in daily activity.
