Simple topical treatment aims to stop painful clots after breast surgery

NCT ID NCT05441592

Summary

This study tested whether applying a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) directly to the surgical area could safely prevent painful collections of blood called hematomas after breast surgery. It involved 107 people having breast reduction or gender-affirming mastectomy. Researchers compared the rate of hematomas and serious side effects between those who received the topical drug and those who did not.
