title: [Successful treatment of drug refractory uterine atony by fundus compression sutures].
abstract: Postpartum atony remains the most common cause life-threatening haemorrhage in obstetrics. In a case of postpartum atony unresponsive to medical treatment after Caesarean section haemorrhage was controlled and satisfactory uterine tonus was achieved by inverted sutures of the uterine fundus. Imminent hysterectomy could thus be avoided.
