title: [Hemostatic sutures in post-cesarean uterine inertia].
abstract: The present report describes a new technique of uterine hemostatic bonds. These sutures are used in cases of uterine inertia with the objective of produce a useful contraction in this organ after the childbirth, these bonds are useful either in cesarean operation as in delivery. The indication for these sutures in when after the usual methods for contracting the uterus as massage, uterus compression, oxytocin, ergonovics, or calcium, we can not achieve contraction and the hemorrhage persist. We report 69 cases in which the hemostatic bonds were applied. Just in one case was not possible to control the hemorrhage and a hysterectomy was required. In 68 cases hysterectomy was avoid by using the hemostatic sutures.
