First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether using a fluid injection called tumescence helps skin grafts heal better after head and neck cancer surgery. About 58 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to get either tumescence or standard care. The main goal is to see if tumescence leads to more complete graft healing, which could mean fewer infections and less follow-up care.
