[Modified technique b-lynch compression suture with uterine atony].

Abstract

BACKGROUNDS:

One of the leading causes of death in the worldwide is postpartum hemorrhage, one of the surgical resources is the use of uterine compression suture described by Christopher B-Lynch and some modifications of the technique.

OBJECTIVE:

To review the effectiveness of the modified technique describd by B-Lynch in early postpartum hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony refractory to medical treatment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

We performed a descriptive and case study of cases of uterine atony treated with the B-Lynch modified technique in our center between march 2012 to september 2013.

RESULTS:

Hemorrhage was resolved in 21 patients. Obstetric hysterectomy was required in the remaining of two patient.

CONCLUSIONS:

The B-Lynch modified technique by our group is effective, safe and rapid in the treatment of uterine atony. However, obstetric hysterectomy may be required as a last resort when all other uterine- conserving techniques have failed.
