Abstract

B-lynch compression sutures, applied as a life-saving procedure in cases of atonic postpartum haemorrhage can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications. We report a case of early uterine necrosis following B-lynch compression suture application for PPH at the time of LSCS, resulting in peripartum hysterectomy.
