    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare H-Hayman, a modified uterine compression suturing technique (UCS) that we describe for the first time in the literature, with conventional vertical UCS techniques. METHODS: The H-Hayman technique was used in 14 women and the conventional UCS technique in 21 women. In order to provide standardization in the study, only patients who had developed upper-segment atony during cesarean section were recruited for the study. RESULTS: Bleeding control was achieved in 85.7% (12/14) of the cases using the H-Hayman technique. In the remaining two patients with persistent hemorrhage in this group, bleeding control was provided with bilateral uterine artery ligation, and a hysterectomy was avoided in all cases. With the conventional technique, bleeding control was achieved in 76.1% (16/21) of the patients, and the overall success rate was 95.2% after bilateral uterine artery ligation in those with persistent hemorrhage. In addition, the estimated blood loss and the need for erythrocyte suspension transfusion were significantly lower in the H-Hayman group (P = 0.01 and P = 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSION: We found the H-Hayman technique to be at least as successful as conventional UCS. In addition, patients who underwent suturing with the H-Hayman technique had less blood loss and a lower requirement for erythrocyte suspension transfusion.
