The objective of this study was to analyze the complications associated with chemoport insertion in various cancer patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Material and Methods A total number of 168 chemoports along with polyurethane catheters were inserted in various cancer patients over a period of 3 years. 9.6 F polyurethane catheters were put by a team of surgical oncologists in operation theater under general or local anesthesia. Analysis of the complications was done until the chemoport was removed due to any reason.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results Out of 168 patients, 30 (17.85%) developed complications. Complications included arterial puncture, malposition of the catheter tip, pneumothorax, hematoma, seroma, deep vein thrombosis, fracture of the catheter, a reversal of port, infections, and thrombosis of the catheter. Only a few required premature port and catheter removal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion There was a low rate of complications associated with chemoport using a polyurethane type of catheter system. However, infection-related complications were comparatively more common in our series. Chemoport requires expert handling, patient education, strict follow-up, and dedicated teamwork to minimize complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1739041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,31]],"date-time":"2021-12-31T18:30:21Z","timestamp":1640975421000},"page":"261-264","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Totally
