description | Hysterectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove all or a part of the uterus, is one of the most commonly done procedures by a gynaecologist. However, it may be associated with a number of complications. Haemorrhage following hysterectomy is a life-threatening complication. One of the most common complications is haemorrhage, whether primary or secondary. The various options to treat secondary haemorrhage post hysterectomy are uterine artery embolization (UAE) or surgical re-exploration. Here, we present a case of secondary haemorrhage post hysterectomy treated with uterine artery embolization and describe the numerous advantages of UAE as a novel approach to stop bleeding post hysterectomy over the traditional surgical re-exploration method. |
