Presacral Space Hemorrhage Control
Bleeding from the presacral space arteries and veins, particularly
branches of the middle sacral artery, can be copious and difficult
to control. This is particularly true if the venous or arterial structures
retract into the foramen of the sacrum. Surgeons can become frustrated
by attempting electrocoagulation, suturing, clamping, and tying.
Technique
The sacrum is shown with arteries and veins
in the periosteum. |
The finger is placed over the lacerated artery
and vein. Conservative methods such as fulguration and suturing
can be tried but are often unsuccessful. |
A thumbtack from the bulletin board grasped
in a straight Kocher clamp can be placed in the laceration of
the vessels in the presacral space. It is inserted through the
vessel wall and embedded into the bone of the sacrum. It remains
permanently in the bone. |
Thumb pressure is used to
drive the thumbtack firmly into the sacral bone, occluding the
lacerated artery. |
