- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to present our experience in embedding exposed subcutaneous venous ports in the pectoral muscle. Methods: In this study, six patients who consulted between January 2006 and November 2013 for exposed subcutaneous venous ports were retrospectively evaluated. The ports were placed in the pectoral muscle. Results: The patients were followed up for 4-9 months. Oncologic chemotherapies were initiated at the end of the third week after surgery. Conclusion: With the results of our preliminary observations, we believe that embedding exposed subcutaneous venous ports in the pectoral muscle is a practical and safe method for cachectic patients.
