Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Patients satisfaction [6 months after port implantation]
The study hypothesis is that the patients' satisfaction after the study intervention is not worse than the satisfaction identified in the current literature. Satisfaction is determined using the patient questionnaire (6 months after implantation). The following 4 domains of the validated questionnaire by Nagel et.al., 2012 are considered as relevant for the clinical outcome: Overall, how satisfied are you with the port system? In a similar situation, would you choose the port again? How satisfied are you with the cosmetic result? Does the port cause pain?
