Topical Injection of Tranexamic Acid via a Drain Plus Drain‐Clamping to Reduce Blood Loss in Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis Surgery

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether an innovative way of administering tranexamic acid (TXA), that is, injecting it retrogradely through the drain and clamping it for 1\u2009h, can reduce postoperative bleeding after degenerative lumbar scoliosis surgery.
