Defenders of this blanket prohibition offer arguments that range from the moral (torture degrades and corrupts the society that allows it) to the practical (people will say anything under torture so the information they provide is unreliable anyway).
Subcutaneous venous ports are currently the preferred type of port because of their low infection rate and because they provide the greatest comfort for the patient. Placement of these ports has traditionally done via open surgery, but our doctors can use radiology imaging techniques to put the ports in more quickly and less invasively, resulting in fewer complications. Chemotherapy port placement is a procedure that our doctors perform in our freestanding facility.
The procedure involves a 3cm skin incision on the chest wall for the port pocket and 5mm incision in lower neck to enter the vein. The port is placed completely inside the body. One end of the catheter is inserted into the vein while the other end is connected to the portal, under the skin.
