Abstract

We report a case of gynaecologic haemorrhage after a Piver type-3 procedure treated by a packing technique. The postoperative course was uneventful and the packs were removed after six days. Intra-abdominal packing should be familiar to both obstetricians and gynecologists because when any other attempt to provide hemostasis fails, it can be the last successful way to control a life-threatening haemorrhage.
