GYN: Ovarian Mass at TVHFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Tue Jun 15 17:52:58 2004
62 YO P3003 with symptomatic procidentia, otherwise normal exam. At planned TVH/BSO/repairs and sacrospinous ligament fixation, after the uterus was out, the left ovary was, lo and behold, 6-8 cm., white, smooth, no excresances, etc. The other ovary/tube/pelvic structures were all pristine, there was no ascites when opening the peritoneal cavity, and the enlarged ovary was not evident to me during examination under anesthesia. At this point, both infundibulopelvic ligaments are accessible, meaning that transvaginal removal is possible. However, I'm not so sure that I can get the ovary out without rupture. What would you do? I've already done it and know the results! Garry

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.
