Controlling a presacral hemorrhage by using a saline bag: report of a case

XinYi Ng et al. Dis Colon Rectum. 2008 Jun.

Abstract

The incidence of presacral bleeding during rectal mobilization is low, but the bleeding may be massive and even fatal, therefore, effective hemostasis is critical. We report our successful use of a saline bag tamponade in a patient with a life-threatening presacral hemorrhage after an abdominoperineal resection of an anal carcinoma.
