Abstract

In Brief Objective: To demonstrate the usefulness of a new method of applying compressive sutures to treat postpartum bleeding secondary to uterine atony. Methods: Multiple sutures were applied longitudinally and transversally around the uterus of 7 women with postpartum uterine atony and postpartum bleeding. Results: The procedure was successful in all cases. Conclusion: Compressive sutures of the uterus were effective in treating uterine atony with postpartum bleeding. Level of Evidence: III Compressive sutures of the uterus are effective in the treatment of postpartum bleeding secondary to uterine atony.
