Why might I have to wait to schedule a port-a-catheter removal procedure?

In some cases, it takes time for a patient’s body to be ready for a port-a-catheter removal procedure. For example, if you have another medical issue, including another surgical procedure or illness, we might wait to perform your port-a-catheter removal surgery. Your health and safety are our top priority, so we schedule surgeries when they’re best for our patients.
