Article Synopsis
- Tranexamic acid is commonly used in plastic surgery, but its effectiveness has not been clearly established.
- A meta-analysis included 11 studies with 960 patients, finding that both systematic and topical administration of tranexamic acid significantly reduced blood loss during aesthetic procedures.
- The study concludes that while tranexamic acid is effective in decreasing blood loss, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to better understand its benefits and risks in aesthetic surgery.
Background: Among the problems encountered by plastic surgeons is the reconstruction of defects following tumors. One of the reconstructive options is trans rectus abdominis (TRAM) flap. Despite that anatomy is well explored, marginal flap necrosis may develop.
