Usually the SSHG first. If positive then I do hysteroscopy for the abnormality. If SSHG is not available, I'd biopsy first, then do hysteroscopy. Why? I think that gross CA on EMB would be sufficient to proceed to other procedures rather than h-scope. -- Richard Chudacoff, MD -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Efrain Ramirez Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 10:22 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: 19mm endometrial stripe : follow up Of course not --but I think it should be considered as an early step in the evaluation of endometrial abnormlaties in US or otherwise - >At Mon, 3 Jan 2005, art fougner, md wrote: > >EB is not as good in the diagnosis of polyps. > >art > >At Mon, 3 Jan 2005, Efrain Ramirez wrote: >> >>Office EMB is sooooo easy and lacks almost any complications - the >>diagnostic yoeld is very good - why not do it? >> >>>At Mon, 3 Jan 2005, Henry Gregor wrote: >>> >>>Agree, we're all just sharing opinions.

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.
