Bleeding originating from the presacral venous plexus during pelvic operations is difficult to control, constituting a potentially life-threatening complication. Although suture ligatures, packing, and placement of tacks are established hemostatic techniques, they are often proved to be ineffective. We report a simple novel technique using spray diathermy for managing this severe complication. We have applied our method in four patients, two undergoing low anterior resection, and the others undergoing abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer, that manifested severe presacral bleeding during rectal mobilization. Electrocautery at spray setting was applied slightly above the target bleeders at the presacral fascia, delivering a high-frequency electrical current in combination with drainage suction. In all cases, the method resulted in successful hemostasis. Applying spray electrocautery is a simple and effective method for controlling pre-sacral bleeding. The advantages of using such a method instead of conventional hemostatic techniques include the option of varying the degree of haemostatic effect by altering the frequency and the volume of electric current.

Background: Rectal prolapse is a pelvic floor disorder that can occur in men and women of all ages. It results in pain, bleeding per rectum, seepage, diarrhoea or constipation and a disabled quality of life. With the advent of twentieth century, perineal operative procedures have become more common. Perineal procedures though have lower morbidities but have higher recurrence rate and high incidence of post-operative constipation. Novel abdominal approaches to rectal prolapse repair also became common during the first half of this century. Numerous types of surgical procedures have been attempted. Most techniques developed till now have some advantages and some short comings. CT Speakman and Pollen et al have shown in their studies   that division of lateral ligaments caused new onset constipation and they attributed this effect to denervation of rectum. As the issue of recurrence and post-operative constipation remained unsettled.Methods: This was an observational study to assess the incidence of recurrence and post-operative constipation in patients of rectal prolapse. In well selected patients, we performed complete rectal mobilization with division   of lateral ligaments. We assessed the patients on the basis of Clevland clinical constipation scoring system.Results: Out of 25 patients, 4 patients developed constipation, 2 had mild and 2 had moderate constipation and 2 patients had recurrence. Patients were kept under six monthly follow-up till a period of eighteen months.Conclusions: Only rectal mobilization with division of lateral ligaments can be a good surgical option in patients of rectal prolapse not having severe constipation.
