Objective: To assess the impact of intrauterine balloon tamponade as a second-line technique before resorting to emergency peripartum hysterectomy in cases with severe postpartum hemorrhage and uterotonic treatment failure following vaginal delivery.
Study Design: A retrospective, monocentric study evaluating cases of uterotonic treatment failure with severe postpartum hemorrhage following vaginal delivery between January 2005 and June 2018. Cases of cesarean section, amniotic embolism, uterine rupture, placenta accreta, and postpartum hemorrhage by vaginal laceration were excluded. The primary study outcome was incidence of emergency peripartum hysterectomy before and after use of intrauterine balloon tamponade was initiated.
Results: Among the 55,776 women who gave birth vaginally at our site during the study period, 161 (0.3 %) had severe postpartum hemorrhage with medical treatment failure (78 during the period prior to intrauterine balloon tamponade use, and 83 after intrauterine balloon tamponade use was initiated). The intrauterine balloon tamponade failure rate was 21.9 % (n = 18). Emergency peripartum hysterectomy was performed in 7 cases prior to intrauterine balloon tamponade use and 2 cases during use of intrauterine balloon tamponade. Thus, we observed a nonsignificant decrease in emergency peripartum hysterectomy after use of intrauterine balloon tamponade was implemented (9.0 % vs. 2.4 %, p = 0.09). However, the decrease was significant among patients who underwent conservative surgical treatment before intrauterine balloon tamponade use (53.8 % vs. 12.5 %, p = 0.041).
Conclusions: Though we did not find a significant overall reduction in emergency peripartum hysterectomy following implementation of intrauterine balloon tamponade, there was a decrease in these cases when conservative surgical treatment was followed by intrauterine balloon tamponade.

Intrauterine Adhesions (IUAs) are characterized by endometrial damage due to endometritis or curettage. Currently, the gold standard for IUA treatment is hysteroscopy, which enables the dissolution of IUA through mechanical or electrosurgical energy. Common strategies to prevent recurrence include the insertion of a balloon catheter or IUD in the uterus.

Background: As induction of labor increases in the United States, safe, effective outpatient cervical ripening has been explored as a method to decrease the inpatient time burden. The most effective method of outpatient mechanical cervical ripening remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate if Dilapan-S is non-inferior to cervical balloon for outpatient cervical ripening (CR) based on change in Bishop score.

An adherent placenta is a life-threatening condition that impairs the mother's life owing to hemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Profound hemorrhage resulting from placental abruption is often managed using hysterectomy to preserve the mother's life, although the consequent loss of fertility can be devastating, particularly in younger women. Thus, strategies that facilitate fertility preservation while effectively controlling hemorrhage should be considered viable alternatives.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vacuum-induced intrauterine balloon tamponade (vIBT) using the modified Bakri system in a clinical setting.
Materials And Methods: This single-center observational study included women who had undergone vIBT for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Vacuum induction at 60 kPa in the uterus was continued for 1 h with 50-100 ml saline, and the balloon was promptly removed after the protocol was completed.

Introduction: Considering the effective treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, intrauterine balloon tamponed can apply pressure from the inside of the uterus, and uterine compression suture can apply pressure from the outside of the uterus. Although combining the two methods can enhance the effectiveness of hemostasis, there is a paucity of studies reporting on outcome. The aim of this study was to report a surgical protocol for postpartum hemorrhage by intrauterine balloon tamponing combined with mid-section loop ligation and its subsequent effects on the uterus.
