Surgical Treatment of Total Implantable Venous Access Ports Exposed Wounds
Objective To study the effect of treating totally implantable intravenous venous access port(TIVAP)exposed wound with surgical techniques.Methods From December 2021 to October 2022,the author conducted a retrospective analysis of cancer patients with totally implantable intravenous venous access port after surgery in the hospital.According to the size of the wound,the amount of time elapsed since injury and the severity of infection,direct suture,pocket replacement or infusion port removal were selected for treatment after debridement to explore the effect of surgical treatment.Results A total of 13 patients,6 cases were sutured directly after debridement,5 cases were replaced,and 2 ports were removed.The time from TIVAP exposed to wound healing was 7-10 d(average,8.5d).All wounds were healed in one stage without complications and obvious scars.After 6 months of follow-up,the total satisfaction rate of patients was 92.31%.Conclusion The surgical treatment of totally implantable venous port exposed wound is effective,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
