Bandage study for Post-Mastectomy fluid pockets halted early

NCT ID NCT03598712

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 35 times

Summary

This study looked at whether wearing a chest bandage after mastectomy could reduce the number of times doctors need to drain fluid buildup (seroma). It included 60 women who had already needed at least two large drainages. Half wore a bandage plus got drainage, the other half only got drainage. The study was stopped early, so we don't have clear answers.
