Our experienced oncology and surgical team performs chemoport placement using sterile techniques and image guidance to ensure accurate positioning and minimal complications. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and designed to make ongoing treatment smoother and more convenient.
What Is a Chemoport?
A chemoport, also known as a port-a-cath, is a small medical device implanted under the skin that connects to a catheter placed in a large vein. It allows medications, chemotherapy drugs, fluids, and blood sampling to be administered safely and efficiently over an extended period.
The port remains completely under the skin, making it discreet and comfortable for daily activities while providing secure long-term venous access.

How Is Chemoport Insertion Performed?
Chemoport insertion is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia, sometimes with mild sedation. A small incision is made near the chest area, and the catheter is carefully guided into a central vein using imaging assistance. The port is then secured under the skin and connected to the catheter.
The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and most patients can return home the same day. Mild discomfort or swelling may occur temporarily, but recovery is generally quick.
