Summary
This study looked at 222 adults who needed a venous access port (a small device under the skin to give medicine or draw blood). Researchers compared two ways of making the cut: across the skin (transverse) or along the skin (longitudinal). They measured pain in the first 24 hours, comfort after 7 days, and how long the procedure took. The goal was to find which method is easier for patients.
