Efficacy and Safety of Tranexamic Acid in Endoscopic Surgery for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A TURP-Dominated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
By Zhang B, Liu J, Zhang Y and 1 others.
Abstract
Background
Hemorrhaging continues to be a significant issue in endoscopic procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Tranexamic acid (TXA) has garnered heightened scrutiny for its ability to mitigate bleeding-associated problems during transurethral prostate procedures. We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and safety of TXA in individuals having endoscopic procedures for BPH, acknowledging that the existing data primarily originated from transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
