Method: In this study, 156 patients who underwent port catheterization by an anesthesiologist after the approval of the local ethics committee were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The procedure was performed in 98.1% of the patients due to malignancy (originated esophagus: 37.3%, stomach: 24.8%). The most common application part was the right internal jugular vein (65.4%). Sixty-two patients required two or more punctures. Port was removed due to port pocket infection in 1.9% of the patients. Conclusion: In this study, we presented our port catheterization experience and aimed to contribute to the national literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.4274/BMB.galenos.2021.01.01663302305481999
