title: Synechia after uterine compression sutures.
abstract: We present a study of 37 women who underwent uterine compression suture for postpartum hemorrhage, with 13 postoperative assessments by hysteroscopy. Synechia occurred in seven patients, of whom three had Asherman syndrome (23% of women who desired pregnancy and had hysteroscopic evaluation) that could not be corrected.
