Seven cases are described in which the B-Lynch surgical technique (a brace like suture over the uterus) was successful in obtaining haemostasis. In four cases, the B-Lynch technique was the first line of treatment. In three cases, the B-Lynch was used after, or in combination with artery or other vessel ligation.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
