Tranexamic Acid in Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic that has historically been used to treat menorrhagia and bleeding disorders. Exploration of its use in procedures has grown, and it has shown promise in its ability to achieve hemostasis with low risk to patients. Analysis of its use in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is warranted due to its potential superiority to traditional methods of achieving hemostasis (direct pressure, electrocoagulation, and sutures).
