Abstract EN
Objective.
To assess the efficacy of a new suture technique in controlling severe resistant uterine atonic postpartum hemorrhage.
Patients and Methods.
This is a retrospective observational study that included thirteen women with uterine atony and postpartum bleeding that did not react to usual medical management.
All these women underwent compressing vertical suture technique in which the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus were attached so as to compress the uterus.
The suture is transfixed at the uterine fundus, thus eliminating the risk of sutures sliding off at the uterine fundus (safety pin suture).
Results.
safety pin uterine compression suture was a sufficient procedure to stop the bleeding immediately in 92.2% of the women.
None of the women developed complications related to the procedure.
Conclusion.
A new safety pin suture is a simple and effective procedure to control bleeding in patients with treatment-resistant, life-threatening atonic postpartum hemorrhage with the advantage of eliminating the risk of the sutures sliding off at the uterine fundus.
