title: Control of hemorrhage from a mucous fistula with Foley catheter tamponade.
abstract: Massive hemorrhage from the colon is always a problem. When that bleeding occurs in a defunctionalized colonic mucous fistula, the surgeon can approach the bleeding site from both ends simultaneously. Two methods of controlling hemorrhage from a mucous fistula with the assistance of Foley catheter tamponade are presented.
