Background: Massive presacral venous plexus hemorrhage during radical resection of rectal carcinoma is rare, but when it occurs, bleeding can be uncontrollable, leading to death in some cases. Medical adhesive gauze sticking and packing and thumbtack compressive fixation are often used for hemostasis, but these methods are not effective in cases of uncontrollable massive hemorrhage. Therefore, identifying a practical, accurate, and reliable method of hemostasis in these cases is essential.
Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2009, we treated 3 patients with massive presacral venous plexus hemorrhage during resection of rectal carcinoma by placing small, trimmed thin steel plates at the bleeding sites. The plates were fixed with a saddle-type application of thumbtacks.
Results: Bleeding was successfully controlled in all 3 patients, and intestinal anastomosis was carried out after hemostasis. No complications were observed.
Conclusions: Application of a small, thin steel plate to the bleeding site with thumbtack fixation is a simple and effective method of hemostasis in patients with massive presacral venous plexus hemorrhage during resection of rectal carcinoma.

Vaginal mesh exposures and infections are recognized complications of open and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy performed for vault prolapse. In severe cases, complete sacrocolpopexy mesh removal may be necessary. This case report presents a 72-year-old woman with previous mesh sacrocolpopexy who presented with infected mesh and recurrent vaginal bleeding despite multiple attempts at surgical transvaginal mesh excision.

Purpose: Hemostasis can be achieved by various methods, but it can be difficult to stop active bleeding in the pelvis. An effective method is described to stop massive active bleeding in the pelvis during colorectal surgery.
Methods: When there were massive bleedings in the pelvis, 3 to 5 Foley catheters were inserted through stab wounds on the abdomen.

Presacral cysts are cystic or cyst-solid lesions between the sacrum and rectum. They are closely connected with adjacent pelvic floor structures such as sacrococcygeal fascia, rectum and anal sphincter. They are usually benign and are believed to be caused by aberrant embryogenesis.

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is one of the most difficult laparoscopic surgical techniques. In this study, we report on our efforts to safely perform this procedure, which consists of suturing a piece of mesh onto the anterior longitudinal ligament using a nonabsorbent suture during mesh fixation onto the prepromontorium layer, which can lead to massive bleeding if a mistake is made, by performing preoperative and intraoperative image evaluation. Preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography was performed.

Myelolipoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor consisting of adipose tissue and hematopoietic cells. Found usually in the adrenal region, however, few cases have been reported in extra-adrenal regions, most frequently in the presacral region. It is important to recognize such tumor, as it can attain massive size and causes pressure symptoms, and needs to be differentiated from malignant tumors, including liposarcomas.
