Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Port Wound Closure compares synthetic tissue adhesives with seam for cutaneous wound closure to port plant in terms of cosmetic results and time savings at comparable risk for wound infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study patients who undergo a subcutaneous venous port implant procedure are randomized into control group (conventional sutures) or into interventional group (synthetic tissue adhesive). The intervention time is documented. Follow-up visit is performed 8 weeks after port implantation. It includes a photo documentation, quality of life questionnaire (EQ5D) and pain scala questionnaire (POSAS) by patient and by 3 independent observers as well as the documentation of complications.
