OPERATIVE REPORT PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Stаge Duke’s D cоlоn cаncer POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Stаge Duke’s D cоlon cancer PROCEDURE: Insertion of an Infusaport ANESTHESIA: Local with IV sedation PROCEDURE: The patient was brought to the operative suite and placed in a supine position. Following IV sedation, she was sterilely prepped and draped in the usual fashion. 1% Xylocaine was used for local anesthesia. A transverse skin incision was made over the left deltoid pectoralis groove and electrocautery used for hemostasis. The incision was then deepened in an attempt to isolate the cephalic vein. The cephalic vein was unable to be identified. Attention was then directed to the left infraumbilical region. The left subclavian vein was then cannulated with 14-gauge needle and guide wire inserted through the needle into the subclavian and advanced into the central venous system. The needle was removed, leaving the guide wire in place. Fluoroscopic visualization was utilized. The guide wire was then delivered subcutaneously to the incision. A subfascial pocket was then created with blunt dissection. Appropriate length of Infusaport catheter was selected. Introducer was inserted over the guide wire and advanced into the left subclavian vein. The introducer and guide wire were removed, leaving the sleeve in place. The Infusaport catheter was inserted through the sleeve into the left subclavian vein and advanced to the superior vena cava. The sleeve was removed, leaving the catheter in place. The Infusaport was then secured to the pectoralis muscle with 3-0 Prolene in the usual fashion. The fascial margins were approximated with 3-0 Vicryl in simple interrupted fashion. The skin margins were approximated with 4-0 Vicryl in simple running intradermal fashion. The system was accessed, aspirated, and flushed with heparinized saline. The system was then clamped and sealed with an op site dressing. The procedure was completed without incident. The patient tolerated the procedure well. All needle and sponge counts were correct and the patient was transported to the recovery room in satisfactory condition with stable vital signs. PATHOLOGY: Preoperatively this 61-year-old patient was evaluated and found to have Duke’s D adenocarcinoma of the colon with spread to the abdomen. She wishes to proceed with chemotherapy. At the time of surgery, an Infusaport wasinserted through the left subclavian vein as described above. Postprocedure chest X-ray was ordered and will bereviewed. No other pathology at the time of surgery. Select all current diagnosis code(s).
