Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study investigates if negative pressure wound therapy, applied after mastectomy, lowers the risk of postoperative seroma and other wound problems compared with standard dressings. The approach uses a specific negative pressure system to manage the wound bed and drainage. Eligible participants are adult women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer at Falun hospital. The trial compares outcomes such as seroma, infection, bleeding, and wound healing between the two dressing strategies. Results could influence postoperative care practices for mastectomy patients if the therapy proves beneficial.
