As someone who has also done a few (back in the late 70s!) I would agee entirely with the above! Obviously adhering to meticulous technique, and excellent assistance also contribute to good outcomes. There are some horror stories about symphysiotomy done in Ireland in the 50s.

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.
