Successful management of pelvic bleeding after caesarean hysterectomy by means of Foley catheter-condom balloon tamponade.

In this case report, we describe a 28-year-old woman with multipar gestation who developed postcaesarean atonia and severe pelvic haemorrhage which continued in spite of peripartum hysterectomy. A balloon tamponade tool was formed with Foley catheter and a condom, and was inserted into the pelvis through the vaginal cuff. The tampon was inflated up to 2200 mL and the pelvic tamponade was applied and bleeding was controlled.
