Unless there is some pathology in the stump it may not be necessary to take it out, and if you are going to put in a hysteroscope, you just slide it in under continuous vision watching all the time as it advances, thus there shouldn't be a problem about what is likely to happen at the fundus of the stump.

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.
