Summary The patient required bilateral salpingooophorectomy for pain caused by the late effects of pelvic infection. Division of adhesions was followed by torrential bleeding from the gluteal tributaries of the right internal iliac vein aggravated by the partial retraction of those veins into the subgluteal region. Measures to control the bleeding and the late complications are described.
