Abstract

Episiotomy site hematoma, though uncommon, can be associated with serious maternal morbidity. It arises mostly due to tissue trauma or injury to blood vessels, leading to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm. Sometimes, when surgical management fails, embolization of the bleeding vessel is a lifesaving option. Here, we report two cases of episiotomy site hematoma that required selective arterial embolization for management, following the failure of surgical management. A 28-year-old G6A5 woman underwent forceps delivery following which she developed a 6*6-cm right-sided vulvovaginal hematoma at the episiotomy site. After failed surgical management, arterial embolization was performed and hemostasis was achieved. A 26-year-old P2L2 woman with a history of surgical exploration for episiotomy site hematoma, presented postdelivery on postpartum day seven with profuse vaginal bleeding. Her computed tomography angiogram revealed a pseudoaneurysm of around 2.1*1 cm in length with a vaginal hematoma of 4*5 cm. Selective artery embolization performed and complete hemostasis was achieved with no complications. Selective arterial embolization is a safe therapeutic option for episiotomy site hematoma, especially if surgical management fails

Özet

Epizyotomi bölgesi hematomu nadir de olsa ciddi maternal morbidite ile ilişkilendirilebilir. Çoğunlukla doku travmasına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkar veya kan damarının yaralanmasına bağlı olarak psödoanevrizma oluşumuna neden olabilir. Bazen, cerrahi tedavi başarısız olduğunda, kanayan damarın embolizasyonu hayat kurtaran bir seçenektir. Burada, cerrahi tedavinin başarısızlığını takiben tedavi için selektif arteriyel embolizasyon gerektiren iki epizyotomi bölgesi hematomlu hasta bildiriyoruz. Yirmi sekiz yaşındaki G6A5 olan hasta forsepsle doğum yaptı ve ardından epizyotomi bölgesinde 6*6 cm boyutlarında sağ vulvovajinal hematom geliştirdi. Başarısız bir cerrahi tedaviden sonra arteriyel embolizasyon yapıldı ve hemostaz sağlandı. Epizyotomi yeri hematomu için cerrahi eksplorasyon öyküsü olan 26 yaşındaki P2L2 olan hasta doğum sonrası yedinci günde bol vajinal kanama ile başvurdu. BT anjiyografide yaklaşık 2,1*1 cm boyutlarında psödoanevrizma ve 4*5 cm boyutlarında vajinal hematom saptandı. Selektif arter embolizasyonu yapıldı ve komplikasyonsuz tam hemostaz sağlandı. Selektif arteriyel embolizasyon, özellikle cerrahi tedavi başarısız olursa epizyotomi bölgesi hematomu için güvenli bir tedavi seçeneğidir
