Most important thing exposure of the Uterine angle. You will need a good assistance.
Once you expose the angle, I find out how far low down the tear has extended.
Once the above is done, as the tissues will be friable use thin but strong suture such as PDS 2- 0. Put interrupted sutures. You can use temporary swab to tamponade the area. Once happy with the haemostasis, insert a Robinson's pelvic drain. Close the skin with steel clips as this will reveal internal bleeding easily if any.
This blog is of my personal experiences in the labour ward and also in the clinical setting. This mainly represents the challenges I had and the solutions I came up with. I believe similar work challneges are faced by my colleuagues too.
