AbstractBackground: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality around the world. Medical treatments and uterus-sparing interventions including balloon tamponades and compression sutures are the first line options before the decision is made to perform a hysterectomy. Our aim is to compare the success rates of the Hayman compression suture and the Bakri balloon tamponade (BBT) in patients with PPH. Methods: We enrolled 82 patients who were diagnosed with uterine atony during their cesarean sections and failed to respond to uterotonic agents. The patients were treated with either a Hayman suture or a BBT. Results: The success rates of the both methods were similar (76.7% in the Hayman group and 74.4% in the BBT group). In both groups, the success rate increased with the addition of artery ligations (93% in the Hayman group and 87.2% in the BBT). Conclusion: The Hayman suture and the BBT's performances were identical in the management of PPH due to uterine atony. All methods have pros and cons and the choice of the intervention depends on a variety of factors including the severity of bleeding, experience of the surgeon and the accessibility of the tools.
