Colic is characteristic of gallstone disease. Inflammation of the pancreas is accompanied by severe pain in the upper abdomen. Jaundice is often observed with problems of the liver and biliary tract. But many pathologies, such as chronic inflammation of the liver or tumors in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, often remain asymptomatic for a long time.

Subcutaneous port system
A port is usually implanted to provide safe access to the vessels. The main advantage of this port system is that there is no need for painful and often complicated insertion of a peripheral cannula. The port catheter also protects the peripheral veins in the arm because the chemotherapeutic agent mixes optimally with the blood in the large central vein. This means that there is no painful irritation of the veins.
