Abstract

Bleeding is one of the more common situations a surgeon must deal with during any surgical procedure. When performing colon resections, the surgeon is dissecting and ligating major vascular pedicles and must be prepared to manage bleeding from these major vascular pedicles and avoid exsanguination. In this chapter we detail methods and maneuvers that will aid in dealing with bleeding from major vascular structures.
