We report 3 cases of advanced cervical cancer with intractable vaginal bleeding. They had all been initially managed by vaginal packing which had failed on 2 occasions. In all cases, bleeding could be controlled by a collagen fleece coated with fibrin glue (Tacho Comb®) without adverse side effects. Applying a collagen fleece coated with fibrin glue may be an alternative method of bleeding control in selected patients.
