The apparatus has ligating means and cutting means. Actuation means are mounted to the apparatus for actuating both the ligating means and the cutting means. The apparatus has a clutch means capable of enabling the actuating means to switch between a first mode for actuating the ligating means and a second mode for actuating the cutting means. The cutting means is preferably an extendable J-hook and blade assembly. The cutting means and ligating means are preferably rotatable with respect to the frame. The ligation and division apparatus may be used to ligate and cut blood vessels or tissue in a mammalian body cavity during a surgical procedure.
