Hundred (100) patients with primary postpartum hemorrhage during caesarean section due to atonic uterus will be recruited for this study.and randomized to either B lynch or Bakeri Ballon B-Lynch: A 70 mm round bodied hand needle on which a No. 2 absorbable suture is mounted is used to puncture the uterus 3 cm from the right lower edge of the uterine incision and 3 cm from the right lateral border. The mounted No. 2 absorbable suture is threaded through the uterine cavity to emerge at the upper incision margin 3 cm above and approximately 4 cm from the lateral border (because the uterus widens from below upwards). The absorbable suture now visible is passed over to compress the uterine fundus approximately 34 cm from the right cornual border. The absorbable suture is fed posteriorly and vertically to enter the posterior wall of the uterine cavity at the same level as the upper anterior entry point. The absorbable suture is pulled under moderate tension assisted by manual compression exerted by the first assistant. The length of the absorbable suture is passed back posteriorly through the same surface marking as for the right side, the suture lying horizontally. The absorbable suture is fed through posteriorly and vertically over the fundus to lie anteriorly and Research Template 7 Final Version: 1/6/2018 vertically compressing the fundus on the left side as occurred on the right. The needle is passed in the same fashion on the left side through the uterine cavity and out approximately 3 cm anteriorly and below the lower incision margin on the left side. The two lengths of absorbable suture are pulled taught assisted by bi-manual compression to minimize trauma and to achieve or aid compression. During such compression the vagina is checked that the bleeding is controlled. As good hemostasis is secured and whilst the uterus is compressed by an experienced assistant the principal surgeon throws a knot (double throw) followed by two or three further throws to secure tension. The lower transverse uterine incision is now closed in the normal way, in two layers, with or without closure of the lower uterine segment peritoneum. BALLOON INSERTION Insert the balloon portion of the catheter in the uterus; making certain that the entire balloon is inserted past the cervical canal and internal ostium. NOTE: Avoid excessive force when inserting the balloon into the uterus. Place a Foley catheter in patient bladder to collect and monitor urine output. To ensure maintenance of correct placement and maximize tamponade effect, the vaginal canal may be packed with iodine or antibiotic soaked vaginal gauze at this time.
