Objective: Our aim is to evaluate the effect of topical tranexamic acid (TA) on bleeding and
surgical quality field in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Methods: A total of
74 patients who underwent FESS due to chronic rhinosinusitis were included. The patients
were randomized into 2 groups. TA group (n= 37) received a topical cotton pledget soaked
with TA and placebo (PL) group (n= 37) received a pledget soaked with saline solution.
Results: A significant effect was noted for the TA group versus the PL group in the grade 1 of …

Objective
Our aim is to evaluate the effect of topical tranexamic acid (TA) on bleeding and surgical quality field in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
Methods
A total of 74 patients who underwent FESS due to chronic rhinosinusitis were included. The patients were randomized into 2 groups. TA group (n = 37) received a topical cotton pledget soaked with TA and placebo (PL) group (n = 37) received a pledget soaked with saline solution.
Results
A significant effect was noted for the TA group versus the PL group in the grade 1 of the Boezaart scale at 35 minutes (4 for TA group and no case for PL group). This effect was absent for higher grades. We did not notice a significant effect between the 2 groups at 5 minutes. Blood loss was 359 ml in the TA group versus 441 ml in the PL group. No significant change was observed between the 2 groups concerning the blood parameters. No side effects were reported.
Conclusion
Despite its safety when administrated locally and its low cost, TA provides limited effect on quality of surgical field after 35 minutes of the start of FESS in the patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. This effect was absent at the start of the intervention and when analyzing the blood loss and hematologic parameters.
