Innovation in training for totally implanted port insertion.
This article discusses the use of fresh frozen cadavers as an innovative way to teach the procedure of totally implanted port insertion. In an attempt to increase the number of competent medical and nursing practitioners able to insert these devices, workshops have been devised and delivered at a university clinical anatomy skills centre. This method of teaching has had positive feedback from practitioners.
