BACKGROUNDTransmural uterine compression suturing methods are a fertility-preserving alternative in patients with atonic primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPPH), which does not respond to manual compression or drugs. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a modified U-suturing technique in effecting uterine compression in patients with PPPH after Cesarean section.
