Bilateral Hypogastric Artery Ligation: A tertiary center experience
Öz
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the obstetric characteristics and maternal outcomes of patients undergoing bilateral hypogastric artery ligation (BHGAL) for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
Materials and Methods: Digital records and hospital archives of patients who underwent BHGAL in the postpartum period after vaginal delivery (VD) or during or after cesarean section (C/S) in a tertiary center between May 2005 and May 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, parity, gestational week, duration of operation, hospitalisation time, estimated blood loss, laboratory values, transfused blood volume, previous C/S history, and intensive care requirement of the patients were evaluated. The efficacy of BHGAL in controlling bleeding, indications, concomitant surgeries, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated.
Results: There were 276.008 deliveries in our hospital in the specified period. Of the patients with PPH, 41 patients underwent BHGAL after VD and 19 patients underwent BHGAL during or after C/S. In 25 of 28 patients with PPH due to atony, bleeding was controlled by BHGAL, while 3 patients underwent hysterectomy together with BHGAL. While the effectiveness of BHGAL in uterine atony was 89.2%, the success rate was 33.3% when all cases were considered. The most common cause of indication for BHGAL was atony, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was the most common complication in patients undergoing BHGAL. Iliac vein injury was detected in one patient due to the procedure itself.
Conclusions: BHGAL is more effective on
controlling PPH due to atony compared to the control of other PPH causes. Most
of the complications in these patients are not related to the procedure but are
due to the complications of PPH. Therefore, BHGAL continues to be a life-saving
method when applied by centers with adequate surgical knowledge and equipment.
