Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of locally injected tranexamic acid (TXA)
under the skin during Mohs micrographic surgery for removal of skin cancers in patients on
anticoagulation. TXA may be helpful in reducing bleeding and pain during surgery, and may
also lead to fewer post-operative complications following surgery such as graft loss,
specifically in patients on blood-thinners.
