Influence of intraoperative tranexamic acid on bleeding outcomes in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy undergoing endoscopic enucleation of the prostate: a multicenter prospective study by the endourology section of EAU

Key Points

• Bleeding outcomes improved significantly with tranexamic acid in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy.
• The study notes a substantial reduction in blood loss with tranexamic acid during endoscopic enucleation procedures.
• Observational analysis across multiple centers evaluates bleeding events in patients undergoing prostate surgery with or without tranexamic acid.
• This suggests potential benefits of tranexamic acid, indicating a need for further evaluation in broader clinical settings.
