Welcome to MIGS Front Page episode with our new host, Dr. Jenny Wu.

In this episode of the JMIG podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Colleen McDermott, Division Head of Urogynecology at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, to discuss her recently published randomized controlled trial: “Does Intravenous Tranexamic Acid Reduce Blood Loss at the Time of Total Colpocleisis?”

Dr. McDermott walks us through the motivation behind the study, the challenges of conducting a double-blind placebo-controlled trial in a surgical setting, and what her findings mean for the future of perioperative care in urogynecology. We also explore whether TXA should be used prophylactically during prolapse surgery and what next steps are on the research horizon.

Tune in to hear directly from the author and gain insights that could inform your clinical practice.
