Abstract

This article discusses the different types of uterine compression sutures used during surgical procedures such as cesarean section. Cesarean section is one of the most common methods of delivery and is usually performed in situations where vaginal delivery poses a risk to the health of the mother or fetus. One aspect of this procedure is to prevent possible complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, which can occur due to insufficient uterine contractility after delivery.
