Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on 70 pregnant women with central placenta previa from May 2005 to March 2010. Patients with uterine packing in the control of massive hemorrhage during cesarean section were identified. The indications, uterine packing procedures, estimated blood loss, postoperative complications, and packing material used were reviewed. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Uterine packing is a safe and effective technique in the control of intractable hemorrhage in cesarean section. It is a reasonable alternative to further surgical intervention in patients with intractable obstetric hemorrhage, especially in developing countries.
