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.
