Résumé
As an established antifibrinolytic agent, tranexamic acid (TXA) has garnered widespread use during surgery to limit intraoperative blood loss. In the field of neurosurgery, TXA is often introduced in cases of traumatic brain injury or elective spine surgeries; however, its role during elective cranial surgeries is not well established. We report a systematic review of the use of TXA in elective surgical resection of intracranial neoplasms. We performed this systematic review following PRISMA guidelines to identify studies investigating the use of TXA in elective neurosurgical resection of intracranial neoplasms. Variables extracted included patient demographics, surgical indications, type of surgery performed, TXA dose and route of administration, operative duration, blood loss, transfusion rate, postoperative hemoglobin level, and complications. After careful screening, 4 articles (consisting of 682 patients) met our inclusion/exclusion criteria. The studies included 2 prospective cohort studies, 1 retrospective cohort study, and 1 case series. A χ These results support the use of intraoperative TXA in tumor resection. However, its role in tumor resection has been less well investigated compared with its use in other areas of neurosurgery.

BACKGROUND
As an established antifibrinolytic agent, tranexamic acid (TXA) has garnered widespread use during surgery to limit intraoperative blood loss. In the field of neurosurgery, TXA is often introduced in cases of traumatic brain injury or elective spine surgeries; however, its role during elective cranial surgeries is not well established. We report a systematic review of the use of TXA in elective surgical resection of intracranial neoplasms.
METHODS
We performed this systematic review following PRISMA guidelines to identify studies investigating the use of TXA in elective neurosurgical resection of intracranial neoplasms. Variables extracted included patient demographics, surgical indications, type of surgery performed, TXA dose and route of administration, operative duration, blood loss, transfusion rate, postoperative hemoglobin level, and complications.
RESULTS
After careful screening, 4 articles (consisting of 682 patients) met our inclusion/exclusion criteria. The studies included 2 prospective cohort studies, 1 retrospective cohort study, and 1 case series. A χ
CONCLUSIONS
These results support the use of intraoperative TXA in tumor resection. However, its role in tumor resection has been less well investigated compared with its use in other areas of neurosurgery.
