[Spontaneous pregnancy after ligation of the uterine artery].
In this case report, the functional anastomoses of the uterine arteries are demonstrated. In our opinion, the selective ligation of one or both uterine arteries is the method of choice for treating severe gynaecological or obstetrical bleeding complications. Successful haemostasis and preservation of the uterus can be achieved permitting future spontaneous pregnancies.
