Doxycycline for post-surgery fluid pockets

This study looks at a problem called seroma, which is fluid buildup, after certain breast surgeries. It compares different situations where implants or tissue expanders are used, to better understand what to expect and how to manage it.

This trial tests if a combination of a pseudomonas bacteria injection and an iodine solution can help prevent infections in women having immediate breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.

This trial studies whether adding an antibiotic called doxycycline to an indwelling chest drain improves symptoms and fluid control in people with cancer-related fluid around the lungs. It’s mainly for patients who are getting this drain placed and can complete brief symptom check-in questions.

This trial tests whether an “MMP-9 inhibitor” medicine given as doxycycline (a tetracycline-type antibiotic) can reduce persistent leaking and fluid in wet age-related macular degeneration. It may help people whose wet AMD is not fully controlled even after several anti-VEGF injections.

This study tests whether compression bandages can reduce “lymphoceles,” which are fluid collections that can happen after mastectomy-type breast surgery. If you’re having this surgery, the trial may help prevent complications and improve recovery.

This trial tests whether taking doxycycline before a dental extraction can prevent bacteria from entering the bloodstream. It might help people who need teeth pulled under general anesthesia.
