“…Three series described the bladder-flap hematoma [2,4,5] without mentioning the subfascial hematoma, and a recent study [6] implied that the subfascial hematoma is an extension of the bladder-flap hematoma.…”

“…The management of early post‐Cesarean section hemorrhage could benefit from ultrasound examination to detect blood collections within the uterus or in the abdominal cavity, and to guide further therapy. Several authors have described ultrasound findings a few days after Cesarean delivery and their correlation with postoperative morbidity3–5. However, none of these studies has described ultrasound findings in the abdominal cavity early after Cesarean section.…”

“…Faustin et al studied 100 post-CS women; in 29% of these echo-free areas were detected anterior to the uterine incision site, which corresponded to the described fluid collections that were more frequently found in patients with excessive blood loss during surgery [12]. Of these, patients with an echo-free area anterior to the uterine incision site that was 3.5 cm large or more had significant postoperative morbidity.…”

Conservative laparoscopic treatment of post-caesarean section bladder flap haematoma: two case reports

A bladder flap haematoma (BFH) is an unusual complication of caesarean section and results from bleeding at the uterine suture. This haematoma arises between the posterior bladder wall and lower uterine segment. On ultrasonographic examination, it appears as a solid area or a complex mass with clean walls and reinforcement of the distal echoes. No clear and defined protocol exists for clinical management of BFH; in more severe cases, when the blood loss is continuous or if it transforms into an abscess, it needs non-standardized surgical treatment. When surgery is performed, usually the BFH is only drained, reserving hysterectomy for severe uterine necrosis, myometritis or abscess formations. In our experience, we have performed two conservative laparoscopic treatments with drainage of the BFH.
