Abstract EN
Uterine atony during cesarean delivery is a serious cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.
Management strategies include medical treatment with uterotonic agents, manual compression of the uterus, and interventional or surgical procedures.
A novel technique to compress the uterus by wrapping it with an elastic bandage and its outcome in 3 cases of uterine atony during cesarean section are presented.
Our novel method of intermittent wrapping of the uterus during cesarean delivery seems to be a successful additional approach in the management of uterine atony during cesarean delivery and may be an alternative treatment option to other compressing procedures in order to avoid high blood loss and last but not least postpartum hysterectomy.
