Internal iliac arteries ligation is procedure useful intraoperative haemorrhage control. It was reported as simple and without severe early side effects. The aim of this study is to assess the distant side effects of this procedure. Study group consists of 66 hysterectomized patients. Among them 23 had internal iliac arteries ligation (group I) and 43 hysterectomy without this procedure (group II). The ten month to 2.5 years follow-up does not revealed any differences in complaints of patients from both groups. Thus, internal iliac arteries ligation appeared to have no side effects also in distant observation.
