How is a port system implanted?
The implantation of a port system can be carried out as an inpatient or outpatient procedure. In either case, the system is positioned under local anaesthesia.
Post implantation you will only see and notice a small elevation just under the skin that is easy to feel with the fingers. No one else will notice that you are wearing a port.
The system can be used right after implantation. You should however avoid any physical activities during the first few days.
