      Delivery hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality in Morocco. It is an obstetric emergency requiring early, effective and multidisciplinary management in patients with severe postpartum bleeding resistant to medical treatment. Advances in interventional radiology and especially, in surgical techniques have provided safe and effective alternatives to hemostasis hysterectomy . We here report a case of uterine necrosis following conservative surgical treatment of delivery hemorrhage based on B-Lynch uterine compression suture combined with Tsirulnikov triple vascular ligation. The patient had sepsis on day 4 after delivery associated with fever and pelvic pain and biological inflammatory syndrome which worsened 48 hours after the onset of abdominal contracture. Abdomopelvic scanner, showed gas bubbles in the uterine myometer suggestive of necrosis. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, which objectified complete necrosis of the uterus. Uterine compression sutures are surgical techniques which play a major role in the therapeutic armamentarium of postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section. It allows, in addition to or as an alternative to vascular ligation, the preservation of patient's fertility, but it also requires maximum caution and monitoring of complications, the most serious of which is uterine necrosis.
