    Author: El-Refaeey AA, Gibreel A, Fawzy M.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynaecol Res; 2014 Feb; 40(2):387-91. PubMed ID: 24118407.
    Abstract:
    AIM: The aim of this study was to demonstrate a novel modification of uterine compression sutures for use in women with primary postpartum hemorrhage and to evaluate its effectiveness. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a prospective observational study. Nineteen patients with atonic postpartum hemorrhage were subjected to the novel VV uterine compression sutures at the time of cesarean delivery. RESULTS: The procedure was successful in 18 out of 19 women (94.7%) in controlling the bleeding and preserving the patient's uterus. Only one patient required supravaginal hysterectomy. CONCLUSIONS: VV compression sutures comprise an easy, safe and effective procedure that can be applied in cases of atonic postpartum hemorrhage.
