Abstract
Use of a single-incision technique for chest port implantation in adult and pediatric oncology patients is feasible. This may be the preferred method of subcutaneous port placement, as it has a very low complication rate and a high success rate. Prospective evaluation is needed to compare it versus the conventional two-incision technique.
