Chemoport Insertion: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

• Preparation: Prior to the procedure,imaging studies and physical examinations are conducted to assess vein size and determine the optimal insertion location. The patient may be advised to discontinue taking certain medications, like blood thinners, and share medical history such as allergies and bleeding disorders.
• You will receive anesthesia before the procedure. A small incision is made under the collarbone or chest to insert the port, which connects to a catheter placed in a large vein under fluoroscopic guidance. The chemoport allows for easier chemotherapy drug administration, reducing the need for repeated needle sticks.

• Recovery: The patient can usually be discharged on the same day without requiring hospitalization.The patient may have mild pain and discomfort around the incision, but this will go away in two days, allowing them to resume their regular activities.
• Maintain a healthy sleeping position; to prevent strain on the port, try to sleep on your back.
• Do not take a shower for 24 to 48 hours, and try wrapping the port with plastic wrap.
• If you notice any redness, swelling, or drainage near the port for an extended period of time, consult your doctor.
• Follow-up appointments for monitoring.
