  abstract = {Decision of relaparotomy is usually become a surgical dilemma as one may encounter dense adhesion before reaching the target site. This may end up with unwanted complication such as iatrogenic injury to adjacent structures as well as bleeding. This is a case of a 46-year-old lady with underlying history of ovarian carcinoma who needed to go for relaparotomy and debulking of recurrent tumour. The attempt to release adhesions was complicated with bleeding at presacral venous plexus. Due to difficulty in achieving haemostasis, bilateral internal iliac artery ligation was done. This procedure did not completely solve the bleeding, so the subsequent step to apply thumbtacks and roller gauze packing were done to create tamponade. The gauzes were removed piece by piece starting from day 8 through small incisional wound without needing to go for another laparotomy.},
