All of the following are true with respect to ligation of internal iliac aery except -

A
For hemostasis, anterior division is to be ligated
B
Collateral circulation is established later between middle sacral and lateral sacral aeries
C
Bleeding is always controlled with it
D
The aery should be ligated and not transected
High-Yield Explanation
Ligation of one or both internal iliac aeries is done to contro hemorrhage from pelvic vessels. it is technically difficult and is onlt successfull in half of the time. The impoance mechanism of iliac aery ligation is a 85% reduction in pulse pressure in the aeries distal to ligation.This conves an aerial pressure system into one with pressures approaching those in the venous circulation. this creates vessels more amenable to hemostasis pressure and clot formation.
