Uterine compression suture may be useful not only for hemostasis in postpartum hemorrhage but also for prophylaxis of acute recurrence of uterine inversion.

This technique was useful for the prophylaxis of acute recurrence of uterine inversion, which was repositioned under laparotomy. We add a new compression suture to the list of those introduced by earlier researchers.
