Temporary clamping of the uterine arteries versus coventional technique for the prevention of postpartum hemorrage during cesarean section: a randomized controlled trial study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cesarean sections are the most common abdominal surgical interventions worldwide, with increasing rates in both developed and developing countries. Postpartum (hemorrhage PPH) during cesarean sections can lead to maternal morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality rates. Although various non-surgical measures have been recommended for PPH prevention, surgical techniques such as uterine artery ligation and embolization have been used to manage PPH effectively.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a surgical technique based on the temporary bilateral clamping of uterine arteries to reduce blood loss during cesarean sections.

Methods

A longitudinal prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted with a prelimina
