摘要

Objectives

Uterine compression sutures have proven to be a valuable and safe option in the control of Postpartum hemorrhage. To avoid complications related to uterine compression sutures (uterine necrosis, synechia, and pyometra), we assess the efficacy of removable uterine compression suture (RUCS) for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and evaluate its effectiveness.

Study design

This retrospective preliminary study was conducted at a tertiary referral hospital between January 2020 and November 2024, including patients diagnosed with postpartum hemorrhage who required compression sutures. Demographic characteristics of the patients who underwent RUCS and postpartum clinical parameters were determined.

Results

Bleeding was successfully controlled in all 11 patients (100%). A mild, localized ecchymosis occurred at the unilateral suture exit site and resolved spontaneously. No intrauterine synechiae were detected in any of the 11 patients at 6-month hysteroscopic evaluation. Fertility outcomes were available for six women, five of whom achieved subsequent pregnancies.

Conclusion

In this study, we present a novel removable compression suture that appears to be effective, simple, and rapid in application, with the potential to reduce serious complications; however, further evaluation is warranted.
