The uterus begins to involute very rapidly and after 48 hours that >suture isn't holding much but empty space My main concerns are the uterine angles. I place a figure of 8 at the right angle under direct vision. Then start my new suture from the left angle as a figure of 8 - then run across to the other side as a continuous lock in a single layer and tie it to the right angle.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
