Abstract:
Pospartum haemorrhage has been the leading direct cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. In 1997, B-Lynch initiated the use of uterine compression sutures for postpartum hemorrhage. Uterine compression sutures have accomplished hemostasis while retaining fertility in many women and thus their efficacy and security have been time-tested. Uterine compression sutures have helped to expressively reduce the number of obstetric hysterectomy. These uterine compression sutures can cause complication like hematometra, pyometra, Asherman’s syndrome, uterine necrosis .Each suture has both advantages as well as disadvantages and hence obstetricians must be aware of the fundamental characteristics of various sutures. In this case report, we explain the importance of knowing the proper surgical technique and the essence of anatomy, in order to prevent complications.
