Abstract

A method of attacking carcinoma of the cervix by severing the nutritional supply line and at the same time stopping or markedly reducing the amount of bleeding is presented. The advantages of the procedure and the two different approaches are presented with a review of the anatomy involved.Although ligation of the internal iliac and ovarian arteries is not a new method for controlling uterine hemorrhage, it is felt that it does have a definite place in the management of uncontrollable hemorrhage from cervical malignancy and its use should be performed more frequently. The combined ligation of the iliac and ovarian arteries seems to be the procedure of choice.
