Resumo
Objective: To determine the characteristics of surgical strategies and methods for intra- and postoperative hemostasis in patients undergoing relaparotomy following a cesarean section.
Materials and methods: A multicenter cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to analyze the clinical and anamnestic data along with treatment outcomes of 97 cases of relaparotomy due to bleeding after cesarean section, which occurred in secondary- and tertiary-level maternity hospitals. Data were collected from six regions of the Russian Federation over three years, from January 1, 2022, to December 1, 2024: n = 20, n = 27, n = 14, n = 8, n = 18, and n = 10.
Results: During the analyzed three years (2022–2024), 44,792 cesarean sections were performed in institutions that reported relaparotomies. The need for surgical hemostasis during the initial operation emerged in 19/97 (19.6%) patients. Relaparotomy was performed in 97 patients, accounting for 0.22% of the total number of cesarean sections. Bleeding after cesarean section was most frequently noted at a gestational age of 37.0 (3) weeks. Relaparotomy was performed in 44 cases following planned operations, in 13 cases urgently, and in 40 cases emergently. Early postoperative bleeding (within 6 h), necessitating re-entry into the abdominal cavity, occurred in 69/97 (71.1%) parturient women. During relaparotomy, the uterus was removed as a source of bleeding in 21/97 (21.6%) cases. Ligation of the internal iliac arteries was performed in 19/97 (19.6%) patients, including five during hysterectomy and 14 while conserving the uterus. Three patients underwent repeated relaparotomy due to ongoing intra-abdominal bleeding. The mean total blood loss resulting from the two surgical interventions was 3,319 mL (1,960) ml. Blood transfusions were administered to 62 patients, of whom three received reinfusion in combination with donor erythrocytes. The mean blood transfusion volume was 1,261 (1,483) ml. The mean duration of stay in the intensive care unit was 65 (55) hours. Transfer to another institution was required in 25/97 (25.8%) postpartum women.
Conclusion: Bleeding most often occurred after planned surgery in pregnant women with uterine scars, indicating an insufficient assessment of risk factors and their prevention. Complex compression hemostasis is most frequently used to stop bleeding, which should be mastered by all surgeons performing cesarean sections.
