ABSTRACT

Objetive: To determine the effect of the implementation of the invaginant compression suture in the management of obstetric hemorrhage due to uterine atony.
Materials and Methods: Observational, descriptive, transversal, retrospective study. Medical records from the Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of the city of Cuauhtémoc in Mexico in which the invaginant compression suture was used as a first option in the surgical management of an obstetric hemorrhage due to uterine atony unresponsive to pharmacological treatment, from January 2015 to March 2016. Measures of central tendency were performed for the statistical analysis using the software SPSS, version 16.0.
Results: nine patients were identified during the study. The mean age was 25.1 years (14-40y), the mean gestational age was 37.2 weeks (32-40w). The mean of the estimated bleeding was 2033 ml (1800- 2500ml). The duration of the surgical procedure was 49 minutes, duration of the suture placement 1.8 minutes (1-3). The invaginant compression suture was effective as the only option in 8 cases (89%). In one case other procedures were required (B-Lynch suture, hypogastric arteries ligation, hysterectomy). There were no complications associated or maternal deaths reported.
Conclusions: The invaginant compression suture was effective as a first surgical option in the management of obstetric hemorrhage in these patients, without short-term complications. There was a limited number of patients and long-term complications can not be ruled out. More studies to evaluate this parameter are required.
