INTRODUCTION: Our aim is to identify the location and size of the anterior foramina of
sacral vertebral bodies and analyse the haemodynamic variables that could influence the …

The presacral venous plexus results from anastomoses between the lateral and median
sacral veins, and courses into the pelvic fascia covering the anterior aspect of the body of …

The incidence of presacral bleeding during rectal mobilization is low, but such bleeding may
be massive and even fatal. Haemostasis can be difficult to achieve using conventional …

Background The incidence of presacral venous bleeding during rectal resection is low, but
this complication can be severe and even lethal. Occasionally, the traditional methods–such …

Background The risk of significant haemorrhage in pelvic exenterative surgery requiring
sacrectomy has been well described. Patients requiring a sacrectomy above S3 are placed …

Rectal mobilization during abdominoperineal or low anterior resection involves careful
dissection between the rectum and the sacrum. Inadvertent manipulation outside the …
