I wanted to get in and out of the OR ASAP, nor could I get enough Trendelenberg to perform an LSH. Since she never needed HRT it did not seem an issue. -- Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG Las Vegas International Center for Advanced Gynecologic Care (Specializing in minimally and non-invasive surgery) 2481 Professional Court Las Vegas, NV 89128 TEL: 702-485-8893 FAX: 702-974-0945 www.lasvegasgyncenter.com <http://www.lasvegasgyncenter.com/> The information in this e-mail may be confidential and/or privileged.

They left a "small fibroid uterus" behind. This is the second patient that I've seen with her ovaries removed and a uterus left in place. They both came from the NY area. Is this a common practice on the east coast?

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.
