The World Health Organisation reported that since 2000, approximately 13,200 pregnant women (Cameron and Robson 2006) have died of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) every year and that 10.5% of live births are complicated by PPH. Massive PPH (MPPH) is an important cause of maternal death around the world, and how PPH should be successfully addressed remains a challenge to obstetricians in both developing and developed countries. In 1997, Christopher B. Lynch developed B-Lynch uterine compressing sutures, which prevent life-threatening obstetric haemorrhages caused by uterine atony. Additional mechanical compressing suture techniques, including modified B-Lynch/Hayman sutures, Cho sutures, U-shaped sutures and Hwu sutures have since been developed.
