        abstract = {Background:Uterine compression sutures are an established fertility-preserving surgical intervention for atonic postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The Hayman suture, while simple and effective, is associated with mechanical limitations including uterine compartmentalization and non-uniform compression, which may contribute to delayed uterine recovery, ischemic injury, and intracavitary collections.
Objective:To describe and theoretically evaluate a modification of the Hayman suture—the Cross Compression Suture (CCS)—designed to provide uniform, centripetal uterine compression while minimizing compartmentalization and focal ischemia.
Design:Concept paper
Conclusion:The Cross Compression Suture is a simple, reproducible modification based on biomechanical principles of force redistribution. It has the potential to improve physiological uterine compression with reduced morbidity. Clinical validation is warranted.},
