Summary

This study tested if applying tranexamic acid (TXA) directly to the surgical site during breast reconstruction after mastectomy could reduce bleeding (hematomas) and fluid collections (seromas). These complications can delay healing and cancer treatments. The study enrolled 23 women undergoing double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction at the University of California, San Francisco.
