NCT ID NCT06265558

First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether a negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum dressing) can reduce complications like infection, wound reopening, and slow healing after complex breast cancer surgery with immediate reconstruction. About 254 women at high risk for scarring problems (e.g., obesity, smoking) will be randomly assigned to receive either the vacuum dressing or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple approach lowers the rate of wound complications within 30 days after surgery.
