Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This trial tests whether irrigating the surgical site with triamcinolone (a steroid) or hypertonic saline (concentrated salt water) can reduce seroma — a common fluid buildup — after abdominoplasty. Ninety women undergoing tummy tuck surgery are randomly assigned to receive one of the two rinses or no irrigation at all. The goal is to see if either rinse lowers the number of seromas and allows drains to be removed sooner.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
triamcinolone or hypertonic saline irrigated into the surgical site during abdominoplasty
What this could lead to
If one of these irrigations works better than no irrigation, it could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce seromas and shorten drain time after tummy tuck surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 90 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. Triamcinolone is a steroid and could increase infection risk or impair wound healing.
