In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Study objective: This is a study to investigate whether applying the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) onto a surgical wound surface may affect the incidence of surgical complications such as re-bleeding needing intervention, wound complications such as infection, wound rupture or seroma, or if it may increase the risk of blood clots. Eligible patients: Patients undergoing plastic surgical procedures with wounds that would normally receive application of TXA to reduce bleeding after surgery. Study intervention: Participants will receive a single local application of study drug onto their wound surfaces at the end of surgery. Study drug will be identical looking ampoules which contain either TXA or placebo (saline). Neither participants nor study personnel will know the contents of the ampoules.
