    AbstractIn obstetrics, the uterine tamponade has been used for the control of acute uterine bleeding. However, the control of the acute hemorrhage from the nonpuerperal uterus is more difficult. Four cases are presented with uterine bleeding during dilation and evacuation without response to medical treatment. They were treated with the use of the Foley catheter for 12 to 24 hrs. There were not complications. The uterine tamponade with Foley catheter is a therapeutic option before the radical surgical treatment.
