And hysteroscopic resection implies use of unipolar current which can give a zone of tissue destruction extending a significant distance from the operative site.

CASE: A 29-year-old woman had a hysteroscopic uterine septum resection. This was complicated by a small fundal puncture. In the ensuing Top of Abstract pregnancy, uterine rupture occurred at 33 weeks and resulted in neonatal mortality and maternal morbidity.

Not completely on point. One could reason that a uterine septum would indicate an abnormal uterus and uterine contour. So this would not DIRECTLY apply to a normal uterus, anatomically, with a single puncture from a curette.

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.
