Abstract

A case is presented of a successful term pregnancy in a 28-year-old secundipara after previous Misgav-Ladach cesarean section and B-Lynch compression suture on account of massive postpartal hemorrhage caused by uterine atony. On account of dystocia and relative cephalopelvic disproportion, secondary repeated cesarean section was performed; she gave birth to a live child 3,900 g/52 cm, Apgar score 9/10, with a regular neonatal course. During the repeated cesarean section, thin laces of connective tissue were found along the sutures placed on the uterus during the previous B-Lynch operation. Pelvic and intrauterine adhesions were not found.
