Efficacy of B-Lynch compression suture for control of intractable hemorrhage during cesarean section

Background: Primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to atonicity during lower segment cesarean section is commonly seen in obstetric practice. Usually, it responds to uterotonics but at times it may lead to life-threatening complications. B-Lynch brace suture is a fertility-preserving alternative surgical technique used in patients with primary atonic PPH not responding to uterotonics. This study was conducted to find out the efficacy of B-Lynch sutures in the surgical management of atonic PPH and prevention of obstetric hysterectomy in the same patients. Materials and Methods: The study included 34 patients with primary atonic PPH during cesarean section refractory to oxytocics and managed with B-Lynch brace sutures. It was a cross-sectional observational study conducted over 1 year at a tertiary hospital. The amount of blood loss, any additional surgical procedure required, and associated complications were studied in these patients. Results: Fertility could be preserved in 100% of the patients undergoing B-Lynch sutures for primary atonic PPH, following the failure of the medical line of management. No major complications including uterine wall necrosis or pyometra were observed in any of these patients. Conclusion: B-Lynch suture is a safe, effective, simple, life-saving, and fertility-preserving surgical technique in the treatment of primary PPH that requires lesser expertise. So it can easily be used before major interventions such as uterine devascularization or obstetric hysterectomy.

B-lynch suture in the management of uterine atony during caesarean section section

Background: Third stage of labour is still the “sword of Damocle’s” hanging above an obstetrician , inspite  of  today’s advanced technologies and personal care .The importance in the management of this deadly stage lies in the anticipation of complications and being quick enough to treat them timely.  Hence in such scenarios, B-lynch suture is most popular method in treatment of uterine atony during caesarean section. The objective is to study and evaluate the cases in which the B-Lynch suture was used to treat the uterine atony during caesarean section.Methods: A prospective randomized study consisting of 50 women with high risk factors for atonic pph during caesarean section were included as study group patients were subjected to B-Lynch suture application when conventional drugs failed to control PPH. Blood loss was measured using a measuring jar. The fall in Hb% and the need for blood transfusion, and the need for hysterectomy as a last resort to save the life was evaluated.Results: The average blood loss was 1490 ml and the majority of patients had reduction in Hb% from 1.1-1.5 gm% (52%), 36% of the patients did not receive any blood transfusion after B-Lynch suture, and in 80% of cases hysterectomy was avoided.Conclusions: Our study shows cases treated with B-Lynch procedure showed that it is an effective method of containing pph.  It has the advantage of being applied easily and safely. It should be attempted when conservative management fails and before any radical surgery is considered.

Resumen OBJETIVO: Exponer los desenlaces de dos técnicas de sutura hemostática uterina para controlar la hemorragia obstétrica. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo, observacional y longitudinal, llevado a cabo en tres unidades hospitalarias de Guanajuato, México, del 1 de enero al 30 de noviembre de 2018. Se incluyeron pacientes con hemorragia transcesárea y posparto. En las primeras se aplicó la técnica de B-Lynch y en las segundas la de Hayman. Se analizaron las variables: 1) cantidad de hemorragia antes y después de aplicar la sutura, 2) tiempo del procedimiento, 3) concentración de hemoglobina al ingreso a la unidad de atención, 1 hora después de la hemorragia y 24 horas posteriores a la intervención quirúrgica, 4) desenlace de las técnicas y 5) complicaciones. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el programa SPSS versión 22 para Windows. RESULTADOS: Se registraron 34 pacientes: 26 con aplicación de la técnica de sutura B-Lynch y 8 con la técnica de Hayman. La pérdida sanguínea después de la aplicación de las técnicas fue menor (p < 0.001). El tiempo entre el diagnóstico de hemorragia y la aplicación de la sutura fue de 11.5 ± 5.9 minutos. La concentración de hemoglobina al ingreso al hospital y 1 h posterior a la hemorragia fue significativamente menor (p < 0.01) versus 24 h después (p < 0.05) 30 de 34 pacientes tuvieron reacción favorable al tratamiento quirúrgico. Cuatro mujeres requirieron procedimientos adicionales para el control de la hemorragia. No se reportaron complicaciones ni muertes maternas asociadas con las técnicas de sutura. CONCLUSIONES: Las técnicas de sutura uterina representan un procedimiento útil, rápido y sin complicaciones para el control de la hemorragia obstétrica.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To present the results obtained with two techniques of uterine hemostatic sutures for the control of obstetric hemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective, observational, longitudinal study in three hospital units of the 1st. from January to November 30, 2018. Thirty-four patients with postpartum and transcesarean hemorrhage were included. The postpartum patients underwent Hayman technique and the B-Lynch technique. The following were analyzed: 1) amount of hemorrhage before and after the sutures, 2) time between diagnosis and placement, 3) hemoglobin levels at admission to the care unit, 1 hour after the hemorrhage and 24 hours after treatment, 4) results with the two techniques and 5) complications. Statistical analysis of all these variables was performed with SPSS, 22 version. RESULTS: A total of 34 patients were registered: 26 sutures performed with B-Lynch technique and 8 with Hayman technique. The amount of bleeding after the application was lower (p <0.001). The time between diagnosis of bleeding and placement was 11.5 + 5.9 minutes. The hemoglobin levels at admission to the hospital and one hour after the hemorrhage were significantly lower (p <0.01) and 24 hours later (p <0.05). In 30/34 of cases, a favorable response to surgical treatment was achieved. In four cases, another procedure was required to control bleeding. There were no complications with the use of sutures or maternal deaths. CONCLUSIONS: The use of uterine sutures was a useful, fast and uncomplicated therapy for the control of obstetric hemorrhage.

Hematoma retroperitoneal espontáneo concurrente con una atonía uterina poscesárea / Concurrent Spontaneous Retroperitoneal Hematoma with Uterine Atony Post Cesarean

El hematoma retroperitoneal espontáneo durante el embarazo es una complicación infrecuente definido como el sangrado en el espacio retroperitoneal que ocurre sin historia de trauma reciente, tratamiento anticoagulante o enfermedad vascular. El objetivo del trabajo es presentar un caso grave poco usual en que el hematoma retroperitoneal coexistió en una paciente con atonía uterina. Se presenta una gestante de 21 años y 39 semanas que acudió al Cuerpo de Guardia del Hospital Ginecobstétrico de Guanabacoa en noviembre 2016 por presentar dolor abdominal. Se ingresa en Cuidados perinatales. Los exámenes complementarios, físico y la cardiotocografía fueron normales. Cuatro horas después aqueja dolor lumbar y se detectó dolor a la palpación en región intercostal posterior derecha sin otro hallazgo ni alteraciones hemodinámicas. No hay dinámica uterina y frecuencia fetal 140 latidos/minuto. Dos horas después, presentó un cuadro que el familiar informa como una "convulsión", no observada por personal médico o de enfermería. No hay toma de conciencia y los signos vitales normales, se comprueba una bradicardia fetal que motiva la indicación de cesárea de urgencia. La hemoglobina descendió a 70 g/L. Se repone volumen y se extrae un neonato con Apgar 1-3. Se produce atonía uterina que no cedió al tratamiento medicamentoso y/o masaje. Se realiza técnica de B- Lynch para la hemostasia que se logra. Se comprueba hematoma retroperitoneal no activo desde borde superior hepático hasta flanco derecho. Se estabiliza hemodinámicamente. El neonato fallece a las 72 horas. El diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz del hematoma retroperitoneal contribuye a disminuir la morbilidad y mortalidad materna.

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma during pregnancy is an uncommon complication defined as bleeding in the retroperitoneal space that occurs without a history of recent trauma, anticoagulant treatment or vascular disease. The objective of this study is to present an unusual case in which the retroperitoneal hematoma coexisted in a patient with uterine atony. A 21 year old pregnant woman of 39 weeks who went to the Emergency Room at Guanabacoa Gynecobstetric Hospital in November 2016, due to abdominal pain. The patient is admitted to perinatal care. Complementary studies and physical examination were normal, including cardiotocography. Four hours later, she suffered back pain, which was detected on palpation in the right posterior intercostal region without any other finding or hemodynamic changes. There were no uterine dynamics and fetal frequency was 140 beats / minute. Two hours later, this patient presented a "seizure," according to her family member that was not observed by medical or nursing staff. There was no loss of consciousness and her vital signs were normal. A fetal bradycardia is verified that motivates the indication of emergency caesarean section. Hemoglobin decreased to 70 g / L. Volume was replaced and an Apgar 1-3 neonate was extracted. There was uterine atony that did not yield to drug treatment and massage. The B-Lynch technique was performed for the hemostasis that was achieved. A non-active retroperitoneal hematoma was found from the superior border of the liver to the right flank. The patient was hemodynamically stabilized. The neonate died at 72 hours. The diagnosis and early treatment of retroperitoneal hematoma help to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

Sutura de B-Lynch en hemorragia postparto por inercia uterina: experiencia Hospital Dr. Luis Tisné Brousse 2013-2016 / B-Lynch suture in postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine inertia: Hospital Experience Dr. Luis Tisné Brousse 2013-2016

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: La Hemorragia Postparto (HPP) es uno de los grandes desafíos para el equipo multidisciplinario y sigue siendo una de las principales causas de muerte materna en el mundo, pese a los adelantos en su manejo. Se define como la hemorragia que produce compromise hemodinámico de la paciente e involucra entre el 1 al 5% de todos los partos. Dentro de las técnicas quirúrgicas conservadoras, existen las suturas compresivas, tales como la sutura de B-Lynch. Nuestro objetivo es determinar la efectividad de la sutura de B-Lynch como manejo quirúrgico conservador de hemorragia postparto por inercia uterina, a través de la necesidad de reintervención o de recurrir a la histerectomía obstétrica como manejo quirúrgico final. MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo observacional, a través de revisión de fichas clínicas de pacientes sometidas a técnica B-Lynch entre enero de 2013 y diciembre de 2016, en el Servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Dr. Luis Tisné Brousse. RESULTADOS: En 48 pacientes, la efectividad de la sutura de B-Lynch como técnica única o asociada a ligadura arterias uterinas o hipogástricas fue de 91,7%. Requirieron reintervención 8,3%, no se reportaron muertes fetales ni maternas y se obtuvo sólo un recién nacido con Apgar inferior a 7 a los 5 minutos. CONCLUSIONES: La sutura de B-Lynch es una técnica segura, de rápido acceso y con Buenos resultados, por lo que recomendamos su uso en la HPP por inercia uterina que no responde a manejo médico y con deseos de preservación uterina.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Postpartum haemorrhage (HPP) is one of the major challenges for the multidisciplinary team and remains one of the leading causes of maternal death in the world despite advances in its management. It is defined as hemorrhage that produces hemodynamic compromise of the patient and involves between 1 and 5% of all deliveries. Within conservative surgical techniques, there are compressive sutures, such as the B-Lynch suture. Our goal is to determine the effectiveness of B-Lynch suture as a conservative surgical management of postpartum hemorrhage by uterine inertia, through the need for reoperation or to resort to obstetric hysterectomy as final surgical management. METHODS: Retrospective observational study, through review of clinical files of patients submitted to B-Lynch technique between January 2013 and December 2016, at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Dr. Luis Tisné Brousse Hospital. RESULTS: In 48 patients, the effectiveness of the B-Lynch suture as a single technique or associated with ligature uterine or hypogastric arteries was 91.7%. 8.3% were reoperated, fetal or maternal deaths were not reported, and only one Apgar score was less than 7 at 5 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: The B-Lynch suture is a safe technique, of fast access and good results, so we recommend its use in PPH by uterine inertia that does not respond to medical management and with desires of uterine preservation.

The Timing of B-lynch Suture for Atonic Postpartum Hemorrhage During Cesarean Section / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To investigate the appropriate timing of B-lynch suture in the treatment of atonic postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section.Methods A total of 90 patients with atonic postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section from January 2012 to December 2014 in our hospital were included in the study.They were divided into two groups, early suture group (applying B-lynch suture when the amount of postpartum hemorrhage reaching 500 ml, n=66 cases) and late suture group (applying B-lynch suture when the amount of postpartum hemorrhage reaching 1000 ml, n=24 cases).The hemostatic effect, amount of bleeding, blood transfusion rate, incidence of DIC, duration of hospitalization, and the puerperal morbidity were compared between the two groups.Results All the 90 patients were successfully treated and were discharged after comprehensive treatment.The amount of postpartum hemorrhage of the early suture group was (656±118) ml, which was significantly less than that of the late suture group [(1550±432) ml, t=-10.003, P=0.001].The rate of blood transfusion of the early suture group was 3.0% (2/66), which was significantly lower than that of the late suture group [(50.0%, 12/24), x2=26.092, P=0.000].There was no case of DIC in the early suture group, and the incidence of DIC in the late suture group was 16.7% (4/24), with the difference statistically significant (Fisher''s exact test, P=0.004).The puerperal morbidity in the early suture group was 3.0% (2/66) and that of the late suture group was 25.0% (6/24), with statistically significant difference (x2=7.952, P=0.005).There was no statistically significant difference in the hospitalization stay between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions B-Lynch suture is an effective method in the treatment of atonic postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section, and early use of it can get better curative effect, such as less bleeding amount and lower rates of blood transfusion, DIC and complications like puerperal morbidity.In case the bleeding volume reaches 500 ml and the general conservative hemostatic methods are ineffective, B-Lynch suture is recommended immediately.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of modified B-lynch suture in the treatment of patients with pernicious placenta pre-via.Methods A total of 46 patients with pernicious placenta previa in our hospital were randomly divided into the modified B-lynch suture treatment group(modified group)and the conventional therapy group(convention group),with 23 cases in each group.The operation time, menstrual recovery time and lochia sanguinea time,postpartum hemorrhage,intraoperative blood soss,abnormal temperature time,placenta ac-creta,hysterectomy and neonatal asphyxia between the two groups were compared.Results The intraoperative blood soss and postpartum hemorrhage of modified group was less than those of convention group,the menstrual recovery time was shorter than that of convention group and the rate of resection of uterine was lower than that of conventional group,with significant difference (P 0.05).Conclusion The clinical effect of modified B-lynch suture in the treatment of dangerous placenta previa is significant.

Efficacies of intrauterine balloon tamponade, intrauterine gauze tamponade and B-Lynch suture in prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the efficacies of intrauterine balloon tamponade, intrauterine gauze tamponade and B-Lynch suture in prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Methods A total of 266 patients with high risk of postpartum hemorrhage or postpartum hemorrhage in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2014 were included in this study. They received intrauterine Bakri balloon tamponade (n=114), intrauterine gauze tamponade (n=69) or B-Lynch suture (n=83). The hemostatic effects of three methods and their relationship with different hemostasis occasions and high risk factors were analyzed. Results The hemostatic rates of intrauterine balloon tamponade, gauze tamponade and B-Lynch suture were 90.4%, 94.2% and 92.8%, respectively, with no significant differences found between the 3 groups (P>0.05). The hospitalization time, postpartum infection or involution of the uterus of three methods were not significantly different (P>0.05). The operation period was (46.08±13.8) min for intrauterine Bakri balloon tamponade, (56.49±12.94) min for intrauterine gauze tamponade, and (52.36±21.11) min for B-Lynch suture,with that of Bakri balloon group being significantly shorter than the other two groups (P<0.01). As for hemostatic occasion, 134 cases received preventive hemostatic treatment and were all successful, while 132 cases receiving hemostatic treatment had a successful rate of 84.1%, being significantly lower than that of the prevention hemostasis group (P<0.01); moreover, the postpartum infection rate was significantly lower in the prevention group compared with hemostatic treatment group (P<0.01). When placenta factor and uterine factor exist at the same time, the bleeding rate and bleeding volume of the mixed factor were significantly higher than that of single factor (P<0.01). Conclusion The three hemostasis methods have no differences in their hemostatic effects, hospitalization time, postpartum infection and uterine involution, with Bakri balloon's operation having the shortest time, therefore it may serve as an emergency hemostasis method to win more time for further treatment. The success rate of hemostasis depends not on the hemostasis method, but on the right occasions, the earlier the better. When placenta factor and uterine factor exist at the same time, the failure rate of hemostasis is higher, and emergency plans should be taken to reduce postpartum hemorrhage as soon as possible.

The investigation on application opportunity of B-Lynch suture during cesarean section ZHU / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To investigate the application opportunity and effect of B-Lynch suture in severe postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section. Methods One hundred patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was given with preventive treatment by B-Lynch suture after the placenta was born. Group B was given with traditional treatment, such as kneading the uterus, pressing, "8" suture, stuffing with gauze first. B-Lynch suture was used after the failure of traditional treatment or the amount of bleeding was over 400 ml.At the same time, another 50 patients without severe postpartum hemorrhage were selected as control (group C). Observed the difference of the amount of bleeding during different time, the operation time and comphcations among the three groups. Results The amount of bleeding during operation and 2 h after childbirth in group A [(266.00±29.90),(301.33±40.30) ml] were obviously less than those in group B[(512.67±202.12), (554.17±201.78)ml](P<0.01). The operation time in group A [(33.73±2.28)min] was shorter than that in group B [(49.33±10.40) min] (P<0.01). The incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage in group A (6%, 3/50) was lower than that in group B (64%, 32/50) (P<0.01). Every parameter in group A was similar with group C. There were no serious complications during and after operation. Conclusions The preventive use of B-Lynch suture in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage attains much better effects, and depresses the incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage, and also improves the living quality. B-Lynch suture should be. used widely in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage preventively.
