Study Design: Simple Descriptive study. Materials and Method: A simple descriptive observational study was conducted at Farooq Hospital and AIT, Lahore. The study included all patients with intraoperative atonic PPH after elective and emergency caesarean sections, during the study period, in whom medical management of PPH failed and Hayman suture was applied. Results: Hayman suture was 97.5% successful in controlling primary PPH due to intraoperative uterine atony. It failed in only one patient (2.5%) and that patient needed a hysterectomy. Conclusion: Hayman suture is an effective and quick technique in controlling primary PPH due to intraoperative uterine atony.
