Summary
Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy are at high risk to develop postoperative bleeding especially in the presence of severe adhesions. Local instillation of the antifibrinolytic (tranexamic acid) at the gall bladder bed may decrease the risk of bleeding.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of topical administration of Tranexamic acid on gallbladder bed for prophylaxis against bleeding in cases of difficult dissection cases due to acute inflammation and dense adhesions.
