ADVICE

Infected/Fractured Port Removal

  • For infected or fractured port removals, prepare differently than standard removals.
  • For infected ports, irrigate the pocket extensively and consider a wider incision.
  • Do not close the wound; instead, pack it and allow it to close by secondary intention.
  • For fractured ports, wear a lead apron.
  • Consult with the referring physician or ID team regarding antibiotic treatment, especially for outpatients.
