Treatment of acute postpartum uterine inversion case with a different compression suture technique

Abstract

Uterine inversion is a very rare cause of postpartum hemorrhage that can be fatal for the patient. Primary treatment is the reduction of a collapsed uterus fundus. In this case, we have used Johnson maneuver to correct the collapsed fundus, but we failed. When this rare condition is encountered, an alternative treatment should always be available. We used compression suture that is used very often for uterine atony and placental adhesion anomalies. The patient's bleeding was stopped and the uterus was prevented from collapsing again.
