| description | Background. Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a
significant contributor to worldwide maternal morbidity and mortality.
When PPH continues despite aggressive medical treatment, early
consideration should be given to surgical intervention. Various
surgical interventions may be used but conservative interventions are
recommended primarily. Case. This case report
describes laparoscopic coagulation of hypogastric artery technique in
a patient with PPH. Conclusions. Laparoscopic
ligature of the hypogastric artery for PPH treatment can be a valid
alternative to laparotomy in patients with vaginal delivery. |
