Brief Summary

Different Methods of Tranexamic Acid Application in Controlling Peri-Operative Bleeding in Gynecomastia Surgery

Detailed Description

The term "gynecomastia" is derived from the Greek words "gyne" = woman and "mastos" = breast and is a benign enlargement of the male breast. It is the most common condition affecting the male breast due to enlargement of both ductal and stromal tissue\[1\].

Plastic surgeons frequently perform gynecomastia operations as cosmetic procedures. Since these operations result in relatively little blood loss, there is little information in the literature about how to minimise blood loss during these cosmetic procedures Some preventive measure against bleeding and hematomas include perioperative blood pressure control, use compressive dressing, different types of suction drains, size of incision, careful hemostasis, and infusion of adrenalin during local anesthesia, infusion of tranexamic acid in tumescent or intravenous directly

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Tumescent solution only (Control group)Tranexamic acid injection"The operative site will be injected with a standard tumescent solution prepared by adding 20ml of 2% lignocaine and 1ml of 1 in 1000 adrenaline to 500 ml of ringer lactate. No tranexamic acid will be used in this group." - All patients will undergo suction-assisted liposuction through an infra-areolar incision, followed by glandular excision using the orange peel excision technique. The surgical intervention will be performed as a day-care procedure. Patients will wear pressure garments continuously for 3 days post-operatively and intermittently and by the 3rd day we estimate the ecchymosis in the chest area then pressure garment will be reapplied for 7 to 10 days. Follow-up evaluations will be conducted immediately post-op, at 10 days.
Tumescent solution with tranexamic acid addedTranexamic acid injection"The operative site will be injected with a tumescent solution prepared as in Group A (Control group), with the addition of 500 mg tranexamic acid to the tumescent solution." - All patients will undergo suction-assisted liposuction through an infra-areolar incision, followed by glandular excision using the orange peel excision technique. The surgical intervention will be performed as a day-care procedure. Patients will wear pressure garments continuously for 3 days post-operatively and intermittently and by the 3rd day we estimate the ecchymosis in the chest area then pressure garment will be reapplied for 7 to 10 days. Follow-up evaluations will be conducted immediately post-op, at 10 days.
Tumescent solution with intravenous tranexamic acidTranexamic acid injectionThe standard tumescent solution as in the control group, with 500 mg tranexamic acid administered intravenously ( well-injected IV directly). - All patients will undergo suction-assisted liposuction through an infra-areolar incision, followed by glandular excision using the orange peel excision technique. The surgical intervention will be performed as a day-care procedure. Patients will wear pressure garments continuously for 3 days post-operatively and intermittently and by the 3rd day we estimate the ecchymosis in the chest area then pressure garment will be reapplied for 7 to 10 days. Follow-up evaluations will be conducted immediately post-op, at 10 days.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intraoperative blood loss during liposuction in milliliters"Intraoperatively" Unit of Measure: Milliliters (mL)

The volume of blood collected in the liposuction bottle during the surgical procedure will be measured. This will be reported as mean volume in milliliters with standard deviation for each study group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in hemoglobin concentration from baseline to 24 hours post-operationBaseline (within 24 hours before surgery) and 24 hours post-operation" Unit of Measure: Grams per deciliter (g/dL)

The difference in hemoglobin concentration between preoperative baseline and 24 hours post-operation. This will be reported as mean change in g/dL with standard deviation for each study group.

Changes in coagulation profile at 24 hours post-operation"Baseline (within 24 hours before surgery) and 24 hours post-operation" Unit of Measure: Seconds for PT and aPTT, no units for INR

Changes in prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and international normalized ratio (INR) from baseline to 24 hours post-operation. These will be reported as mean changes with standard deviations for each parameter in each study group.

Extent of post-operative ecchymosis at 7 days"7 days post-operation" Unit of Measure: Ordinal scale score (0-4)

The extent of ecchymosis will be assessed using a standardized photographic scale, ranging from 0 (no ecchymosis) to 4 (severe ecchymosis). This will be reported as median score with interquartile range for each study group."

Duration of surgical drain placement in daysFrom immediate post-operation until drain removal (expected within 3 to 7 days)" Unit of Measure: Days

The number of days the surgical drain remains in place post-operatively, until drainage is less than 30 mL per 24 hours. This will be reported as mean number of days with standard deviation for each study group.
