Yes the mediport removal is an outpatient procedure. At least mine was. Local anesthetic to numb the area, I felt a few tugs and several pin s The pressure cuff on my ankle was more uncomfortable than the surgery. Had to use the anle as my lumpectomy was on the left breast and so could not use that side in fear of lymphamenia (sp?) The slicing and dicing took 15 -20 minutes The stiches were all inside ao Dr. Kacy used "super glue" to hold everthing together. Incision was 4-5 inches long. As only local anethic was used I went home Driven by my son in an hour after the procedure, I'm back at work the next day.
