M.D.C.M. F.R.S.C.: "Re: Gyn: Our friends, the ureters" Gary, I was taught during residency to palpate for ureters. I must admit the only time I could do it (and probably this is the one time when it should be done) is in someone with a total or near total uterine prolapse. I know of one ureter that I "bagged" during an abdominal procedure, but never knew of one on a vaginal case. Gerald P. Rodríguez, M.D., FACOG Santa Fe >----- Original Message ----- From: "Garry E.

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.
