Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To report our experience with different management approaches to treat postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to uterine atony with reference to need for hysterectomy. METHODS: A retrospective study of data of all women who delivered in Dr. Sami Ulus Medical and Research Hospital between April 2010 and April 2013 was collected from the department's medical records, to identify patients who had undergone the compressive suture techniques, artery ligation, Bakri balloon application and hysterectomy operation because of PPH due to uterine atony. RESULTS: A total of 32 cases who had PPH due to uterine atony were identified. Bleeding was successfully treated without the need for hysterectomy in 25 patients. Compressive suture technique and artery ligation without Bakri balloon application were used in 22 patients with the success rate of 72.7%. Bakri balloon was applied to ten patients, and there were three cases with failure: two patients needed an additional procedure (hypogastric artery ligation and B-Lynch suture) and one patient needed hysterectomy. The overall success rate of intrauterine balloon tamponade alone was 70%. The success of Bakri balloons in combination with artery ligation and B-Lynch suture was promising. CONCLUSION: Our case series suggest that in the condition of PPH due to atony, both compression sutures and Bakri balloon tamponade are effective methods. In combination of uterine artery ligation and B-Lynch suture with Bakri balloon tamponade might be the best surgical approach due to its higher success according to our results. To obtain more information further studies with large case series are important.
