Abstract
A technique for controlling life-threatening presacral bleeding is described. This consists of a sterilised metallic drawing pin pushed through the synthetic coagulant Surgicel (Johnson and Johnson) directly into the bleeding point in the sacrum. Two patients are described in which this technique was used with a successful outcome.Entities:
