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.
This port is then attached to a catheter tube that is threaded into one of the large veins near your neck, such as the subclavian vein or jugular vein, and ends near the top of your heart. After your port is placed, you will notice a slight protrusion in your skin, over the port. During blood draws or chemotherapy infusions, a nurse will insert a needle into your port in an area called the septum, a resealing rubber center on your port.
