Background: Uterine compression suturing is considered a successful, safe, inexpensive and simple method for the conservative treatment of atonic postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). However, insufficient data are available about the potential risk of subsequent intrauterine synechiae (IUS).
Aim: To determine the risk of postpartum uterine synechiae in women who received isolated uterine compression suturing for the management of major uncontrolled PPH.
