The technique is described for devascularizing the post-cesarean section uterus with bilateral mass ligation of the ascending branches of the uterine arteries and veins. This 30-year clinical experience with 265 patients includes the results and complications. Ten patients required additional therapy. The effectiveness of this technique makes it a reasonable alternative to hypogastric artery ligation and reduces the need for hysterectomy.
