Abstract
Rectal mobilization during abdominoperineal or low anterior resection involves careful dissection between the rectum and the sacrum. Inadvertent manipulation outside the avascular presacral space may damage presacral veins, causing troublesome and potentially life-threatening bleeding. We reviewed the current management of presacral bleeding, including the use of an endoscopic stapling device to control presacral bleeding.
