Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic that has been shown to decrease bleeding and fluid production at surgical sites and can be administered orally, intravenously, and topically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of topical TXA on drain removal in abdominally based autologous breast reconstruction (ABABR).\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent ABABR from August 2018 to November 2019. In 1 cohort, a 2.5% TXA solution was topically applied to the abdominal wall prior to closure. Drains were removed when output was less than 30 mL\/day for 2 consecutive days. The primary outcome was days to drain removal. Secondary outcomes include daily inpatient drain output, postoperative hemoglobin levels, blood transfusions, and complications within 30 days postoperatively.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Eighty-three patients were included, with 47 in the control group and 36 in the TXA group. Drains were removed significantly earlier in patients who received TXA (16 days vs 23 days,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.02). Additionally, significantly fewer patients required postoperative blood transfusions in the TXA group (2 vs 14,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.005). Abdominal complications were fewer in the TXA group with significantly less wound healing complications (22% vs 49%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.01). There was no difference in flap loss or systemic thromboembolic events.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Topical TXA use in ABABR results in earlier abdominal drain removal, less blood transfusions, and lower abdominal wound complications without an increased risk of flap loss or adverse patient outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/22925503221120549","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,24]],"date-time":"2022-08-24T04:00:56Z","timestamp":1661313656000},"page":"395-403","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Topical Tranexamic Acid (TXA) Decreases Time to Drain Removal, Wound Healing Complications, and Postoperative Blood Loss in Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Katherine","family":"Rose","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6283-6581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Armin","family":"Edalatpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsten A.","family":"Gunderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brett F.","family":"Michelotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel O.","family":"Poore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Gast","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000005301"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0000000000002990"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000479932.11170.8f"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000003831"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181de1b7e"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2012.39.1.3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-014-0333-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000005605"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejso.2012.02.179"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0748-7983(03)00096-9"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","first-page":"143","article-title":"Effect of closing dead space on seroma formation after mastectomy--a prospective randomized clinical trial","volume":"19","author":"Coveney EC","year":"1993","unstructured":"Coveney EC, O\u2019Dwyer PJ, Geraghty JG, O\u2019Higgins NJ.
