First seen Jun 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests if using a pulsed lavage (a high-pressure washing device) to clean the surgical pocket during implant-based breast reconstruction can lower the risk of complications like infection, bleeding, fluid buildup, or implant failure. Researchers will compare outcomes in 62 women who receive either standard care or pulsed lavage. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
