The Role of Anti-Fibrinolytics in Reducing Blood Loss during Craniofacial or Orthognathic Surgeries: A Meta-Analysis

Use of anti-fibrinolytic drugs in craniofacial and orthognathic surgery seems quite promising and has strong advocates. However, supporting evidence is controversial and limited by a small sample of individual studies. We sought to systematically review and meta-analyze the available data regarding the role of pre- or intra-operative anti-fibrinolytic drugs (e.g., tranexamic acid, aprotinin, aminocaproic acid) in craniofacial and orthognathic surgery.
