Abstract
Post-partum haemorrhage is a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Numerous medical and
surgical therapies have been used but none has been uniformly successful. Three cases which were managed
successfully with brace suture following failure of medical management for post-partum haemorrhage are being
presented. The ease and usefulness of this procedure as a life saving measure, its relative safety and its capacity for
preserving the uterus and thus fertility is high lighted.
Keywords: post-partum haemorrhage, B – Lynch Brace Suture & maternal mortality.
