[Ligation of the uterine vessels during obstetrical hemorrhages. Immediate and long-term results (author's transl)].

The technique and results of both bilateral round ligament, utero-ovarian and uterine artery ligations for excessive hemorrhage in the third stage have been described. The author have performed this procedure, first in 9 monkeys and in 24 women. Unnecessary emergency hysterectomies may be avoided by the use of this method of which the technique is simple, may be rapidly performed and will be more effective than hypogastric or uterine artery ligation. The ovarian and uterine functions were studied and were most often completely restored.
