Abstract
There are few methods to control heavy bleeding intra-operatively during cesarean delivery of placenta previa. Transient occlusion of uterine arteries (TOUA) during operation is previously mentioned in the literature and a good method to control uterine bleeding intra-operatively, quickly, and safely. The TOUA was performed in two cases of cesarean delivery with placenta previa totalis to reduce intra-operative complication safely, especially intraoperative heavy bleeding. In the two cases, cesarean deliveries were safely finished without any complications under TOUA method.
TOUA can be a good method to control intra-operative heavy bleeding during cesarean delivery of complete placenta previa with risk of heavy bleeding.
Key words: TOUA, placenta previa, heavy bleeding
