If she was on the oral boards she would turn out to have Stage IV endometriosis. For persistent cervical disease I actually prefer doing cones once or even twice to preserve the cervical /vaginal architecture, rather than jumping right into a hysterectomy. There's nothing worse than having to chase down dysplasia in the folds of a vaginal cuff. But I think Gary's point was that this lady has indications for hysterectomy other than just the HGSIL and of course, if I could get her past our local BC/BS guidelines compliance officer, I would make certain that all the cervical disease was included in the hysterectomy specimen. -- Douglas Krell MD >From: islesannie@gmail.com (Joanne Bulley, MD) >Reply-To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net >To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> >Subject: Re: Gyn: Positive margins on a LEEP >Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:25:24 -0500 > >Ditto > >As the eldest Gyn in this county - I think I am the ONLY one who does >any "cold knife cones" I do them for almost anything where I suspect CIN >3 or CIS. > >I want my pathologist to get a decent look at the margins. > >JB > >At Tue, 30 Oct 2007, Richard Chudacoff wrote: > > > >Okay, but if invasion cannot be ruled out, then I would do a cold knife >cone > >rather than a LEEP.

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.
