Removable retropubic uterine compression suture for controlling postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective: To minimize the adverse events of uterine compression suture in controlling postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and to search for a prophylactic approach to potential PPH.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 39 women with removable retropubic uterine compression suture (RRUCS) to stop PPH due to uterine atony during cesarean section (CS). The procedure was to suspend and compress the uterus to the retropubic abdominal wall using an absorbable suture.

Ring compression suture for controlling post-partum hemorrhage during cesarean section.

Aim: To avoid complications associated with uterine compression sutures, we devised a ring compression suture (RCS).

Methods: The RCS was performed on 12 patients with post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) during cesarean section. The suture was inserted 0.

Longitudinal parallel compression suture to control postopartum hemorrhage due to placenta previa and accrete.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of longitudinal parallel compression suture to control heavy postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in patients with placenta previa/accreta.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen women received a longitudinal parallel compression suture to stop life-threatening PPH due to placenta previa with or without accreta during cesarean section. The suture apposed the anterior and posterior walls of the lower uterine segment together using an absorbable thread A 70-mm round needle with a Number-1 absorbable thread was used.

Uterine folding hemostasis: a simpler and safer technique for controlling atonic postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of a uterine folding hemostatic technique in controlling atonic postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) during cesarean delivery.

Methods: Thirty-nine women with severe postpartum bleeding from uterine inertia, which did not react to conventional initial management protocols, underwent a uterine folding hemostasis. The procedure was to fold the uterine fundus onto the anterior wall of the corpus uterus using an absorbable suture that thread tautly through the inner myometrial layer of the uterus 1-3 cm below the fundus (not entered into uterine cavity) and 1-2 cm above and below the CS incision (entered into uterine cavity 2-4 cm medal to bilateral border of the uterus).

Reflexed Compression Suture for the Management of Atonic Postpartum Hemorrhage with an Abnormally Adherent Placenta.

Background/aims: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening condition with a worldwide occurrence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a reflexed compression suture in controlling severe atonic PPH with placenta accreta.

Methods: Eleven women with severe PPH due to uterine inertia or placenta accreta were administered the reflexed compression suture.

Symbol "&" suture to control atonic postpartum hemorrhage with placenta previa accreta.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a symbol "&" compression suture technique in controlling severe atonic postpartum hemorrhage with placenta previa accreta during cesarean delivery.

Methods: Nine women with heavy postpartum bleeding from uterine inertia and placenta previa percret, which did not react to conventional initial management protocols, were underwent the suture in the shape of symbol "&" in China Meitan General Hospital. The suture procedure was to staple the anterior and posterior walls (of the lower uterine segment as well as corpus uterus) together using number 1 chromic catgut, with a cross at about 2 cm above the upper boundary of lower uterine segment.

[Meta-analysis of uterine arterial embolization and myomectomy in treatment of uterine myoma].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of uterine arterial embolization (UAE) in the management of symptomatic uterine myomas compared with myomectomy.

Methods: All clinical trials on UAE treating symptomatic uterine myomas indexed in PubMed and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were reviewed using meta-analysis by Revman 4.1 software.

[Expression of cyclin D1 and p16 protein in vulvar white lesion].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between cell cycle protein (cyclin D1 and p16) expression and vulvar white lesion.

Methods: Biopsies from 34 cases with vulvar white lesion, including 12 cases with lichen sclerosus (LS), 18 with squamous hyperplasia (SH) and 4 SH accompanied with LS, were examined for protein expression of cyclin D1 and p16 using immunohistochemical techniques. Normal vulvar tissues from 11 patients with other benign gynecologic diseases were used as control.
