Summary

This study tested whether applying tranexamic acid (TXA) directly into the wound during mastectomy surgery could reduce fluid buildup and infection. 62 women with breast cancer were split into two groups: one received TXA plus a special stitching technique, the other had stitching alone. Results showed that TXA significantly lowered fluid collection and wound infections, suggesting a safe, cheap way to improve recovery after breast cancer surgery.
