Utility of Tranexamic acid to minimize blood loss in brain tumour surgery

Abstract

Tranexamic acid is emerging as a useful option for a number of clinical indications, by virtue of its anti-fibrinolytic properties that allow better haemostasis and lesser blood loss. Herein, the authors have attempted to summarize the existing evidence on the possible role of tranexamic acid in brain tumour surgeries.
