Tranexamic acid use in breast surgery: A systematic review

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has revolutionised the management of bleeding in trauma and surgery. Postoperative bleeding in breast surgery can have significant adverse patient implications. The resulting psychological, aesthetic, financial and physiological morbidity may be mitigated with the perioperative use of TXA. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TXA in breast surgery in preventing postoperative bleeding-related complications.
