Glove-loaded Foley's Catheter Tamponade for Cesarean Section for Placenta Previa

A glove-loaded Foley's catheter tamponade, the internal os of the cervix was identified and a double-way 20 Fr Foley's catheter with a 30-50-ml balloon was inserted through the cervix to be handled by an assistant through the vagina and fixed to the patient's lower limb after inflation of the catheter balloon by 300 ml warm saline and pulling it against the lower uterine segment between the two transverse sutures. Only one glove-loaded Foley's catheter was used for tamponade.

"Uterine hemostatic sutures, through examination of the placental bed, may use some hemostasis at the placental bed,overswing was commenced using endo-uterine sutures. If there is still significant bleeding, bilateral uterine artery ligation, and internal iliac artery ligation when needed.BUAL started immediately through blunt dissection downwards and laterally of the peritoneum covering the uterine isthmus and cervix. The peritoneum is mobilized freely at the uterine angles to expose both uterine arteries and avoid inclusion of the ureters in the ligation. The uterine artery pulsations were palpated digitally at the level of the internal os."
