In operations where the rectum must be mobilized, frequently haemorrhage from presacral venous plexuses occurs. If the haemorrhage is massive, this is a serious complication, which may threaten the patient's life. In those instances we use a "drawing-pin" to arrest haemorrhage. The possibility to use a "drawing-pin" is not generally known and therefore the authors present their clinical experience with this method.
