The study illustrates the efficacy of damage control techniques (DCS) in managing unexpected massive bleeding during elective surgeries. Two cases are presented: an obese male with colon cancer and a male with hepatocellular carcinoma, both experiencing significant bleeding. DCS facilitated stabilization in life-threatening scenarios, enabling successful interventions despite hemodynamic instability and coagulopathy. Outcomes were favorable, as both patients survived post-surgery, underscoring the importance of DCS in elective surgeries facing unforeseen complications.
