Reply: Douglas Krell: "Re: Vag hyst after C/S ... was Positive margins." The pubic arch is the limiting factor in suitability for Vag. Hyst. Not uterine size, not parity, not previous surgery. My comment about 6 prior C/S was with the idea that there aren't very many women out there who have had 6. I personally have never done a vag. hyst on a uterus greater than 28 (twenty-eight) weeks size (22050 gm). It took a while to do, but she went home the next morning. When the residents wanted to staff a TAH or LVH, I would always ask them: "Why can't it be done vaginally?" Dan On 10/31/07, 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.
