Tummy tuck bleeding: could a simple drug cut risks?
NCT ID NCT06086444
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) before tummy tuck surgery reduces blood loss. Sixty adults scheduled for abdominoplasty received either TXA or a placebo before their operation. Researchers measured blood loss, hemoglobin, and other markers to see if TXA helps control bleeding during this common cosmetic procedure.

What this could lead to
