They're used by general surgeons to decide what size of automated EEA stapler/suturer to use after a sigmoid resection. It's placed per ano. However, go to your OR and ask to take a look at them. Basically they're big metal eggs on the end of a metal stick, perfect for tenting up the vaginal cuff smoothly.(Make sure you ask for the sizers not the EEA itself. I don't do those but the sizers are really handy.) - Barb

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.
