NCT ID NCT05441592
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether applying tranexamic acid (TXA) directly into the surgical wound during breast reduction or gender-affirming mastectomy could prevent hematomas—painful collections of blood under the skin. 107 adults participated. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost step could reduce the need for additional procedures to drain blood clots.
