“…Lacerations are found in 0.2 % all vaginal deliveries [87] and may be the cause of bleeding in up to 11 % of PPH, alone or in association with atony [39]. Bleeding from vaginal or cervical laceration is generally controlled with surgical repair and vaginal packing, which should be performed first.…”

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially life-threatening condition, which needs multidisciplinary management. Uterine atony represents up to 80 % of all causes of PPH. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has now a well-established role in the management of severe PPH. TAE allows stopping the bleeding in 90 % of women with severe PHH, obviating surgery. Pledgets of gelatin sponge as torpedoes are commonly used for safe TAE, and coils, glue, and microspheres have been primarily used in specific situations such as arterial rupture, pseudoaneurysm, and arteriovenous fistula. TAE is a minimally invasive procedure with a low rate of complications, which preserves future fertility. Knowledge of causes of PPH, potential risks, and limitations of TAE is essential for a timely decision, optimizing TAE, preventing irreversible complications, avoiding hysterectomy, and ultimately preserving fertility.

“…In human medicine cervical lacerations are detected and closed immediately without any significant affect on subsequent fertility (Parikh 2007;Melamed 2009). This repair in the acute state does not allow for chronic cervical incompetence which may lead to inflammation and infection.…”

“…[1] A bucket-handle tear is a laceration of the anterior or the posterior lip of the cervix so that it hangs like the handle of a bucket. Although these cervical injuries are more common in term deliveries, alternative risk factors associated with cervical injuries are cervical cerclage, induction of labour, young maternal age, vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery, prostaglandin use and precipitate labour.…”

A bucket-handle tear is a laceration of either the anterior lip or the posterior lip of the cervix so that it hangs like the handle of a bucket. These cervical injuries are more common in term deliveries and are associated with various risks factors, including cervical cerclage, induction of labour, young maternal age, assisted vaginal delivery, prostaglandin use and precipitate labour. We came across two patients who experienced a bucket handle tear of the posterior lip of the cervix in second-trimester abortions due to prostaglandin E 1 use. Such a case has not been reported in the literature. In this case study, we report two such cases.
