Surgical Management of a Post-Partum Haemorrhage due to Uterine Atony by B-Lynch Suture in a Young Cameroonian Woman at the Yaoundé Central Hospital, Cameroon

20534

The B-Lynch suture is a form of suture compression used in obstetrics to perform mechanical compression on a sluggish uterus in response to severe postpartum haemorrhage. We present a case a 27-year-old Cameroonian woman, where general measures and medical treatment did not stop the bleeding. Surgical management succeeded by B-Lynch suture. After literature review, we suggest to practitioners, to think of performing B-lynch s suture before any possible radical surgery in case of postpartum haemorrhage due to uterine atony.
