Summary
This study tested whether applying tranexamic acid (TXA) directly into the surgical wound during breast surgery can prevent hematomas—painful collections of blood under the skin. Researchers enrolled 107 adults undergoing breast reduction or gender-affirming mastectomy. Half received TXA, half did not, and the number of hematomas requiring drainage was compared.
