    Author: Wydra D, Emerich J, Sawicki S, Ciach K, Marciniak A.
    Journal: Ginekol Pol; 2006 Mar; 77(3):210-1, 214-5, 217. PubMed ID: 16871839.
    Abstract:
    This is a report of two cases of haemorrhage after pelvic exenteration in patients with vulvar cancer and cervical cancer treated by temporary pelvic packing at the Department of Gynaecology of the Medical University in Gdańsk. The packing was successful and the sponges were removed after 24 and 48 hours. There were no major postoperative complications in both cases and one wound dehiscence. Both patients recovered after surgery. In cases with severe intraoperative haemorrhage, intraabdominal packing can be effective mode of treatment, especially in bleeding which originates from the sacral venous plexus.
