Spine surgery in paediatrics is frequently associated with substantial blood loss.~Blood product adminestration in children has many complications that are not fully known.~There are many modalities currently available to reduce blood loss in pediatric patients.~Tranexamic acid is tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor that reduce perioperative blood loss.~To date, no studies have investigated effect of local administration of tranexamic acid in pediatric population undergoing scoliosis surgery.
We hypothesized that local administration of tranexamic acid will minimize blood loss and blood product administration in pediatric patient undergoing scoliosis surgery
