Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta to control blood loss during sacral tumors surgery. Materials and Methods From January 2009 to December 2013, 31 patients with sacral tumors were recruited for this study. Totally 16 patients received the traditional surgery resection (control group) and the other 15 received temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta during surgery (balloon occlusion group). Intraoperative balloon occlusion time, blood loss, blood transfusion, and surgery time were recorded. Operation effect and complications were observed. Two independent sample t test was used to compare the blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion and surgery time between the two groups. Results Every case needed about 20~30minutes for successful placement of the balloon catheter before the surgical operation. The balloon was inflated for blood flow occlusion from 30 minutes to 45 minutes (mean 32 ±7 minutes) accumulatively, the blood loss, blood transfusion, and surgery time in balloon occlusion group were significantly less than control group(P<0.05). All the tumors of 31 cases had no lower limb venous thrombus or ischemic necrosis or failure of renal function happened. Conclusion The temporary balloon occlusion technique is safe and simple, which can effectively control the introperative hemorrhage.
